Newbie here. Can someone please give me some guidance on what sensitivity settings I should be using with the above yoke? I'm pretty confused with null zone. sensitivity, reacitivity etc. 

I fly the stock 172 and the pitch seems very, extremely sensitive especially on final approach. The slightest movement of the yoke in or out is very exaggerated, causing too much fluctuation in pitch.

My rudder seems to work OK.

Thank You all for any help.

As a start you might try setting the + and - Y axes sensitivity settings to -50%, a null zone of about 5%, and reduce the reactivity to 80%, just to get a feel for what these changes do.  A lot depends on how smoothly your controller can make small changes.

If you do a search on Youtube for MSFS Controller Settings you will find tutorials that should be helpful.

Thanks a lot ark...Now I have a good place to start!

Also, I would like to suggest this tutorial regarding calibrating your controls. Even this is related to Redbird flight controls, this process can be applied with positive results to any control system. If there is an issue related to calibration you still might not be able to get smooth output from any yoke, rudder, etc. After that, as @ark mentioned try to play with MSFS controller settings.
