Suggest non 3D rates Sbach 30cc?
I have a Redwing Sbach 30cc. I don't fly 3D. The most I do is a lomcevac and tumbles. The rest is IMAC type aerobatics. The high rates are too high for my style of flying. The low rates are 15 deg elev & ailerons. Any suggestions?

Go 25-30 degrees.
ADD EXPO maybe 30% adust to liking, it makes the planes flyable and smooth even with big trows.
At 40 degrees, many have 60% or more expo. Depending on Radio, you will have to enter a + or - value

Reason why I mentioned expo is that a few at my field had difficulties with newer designs being way too sensitive, I checked their menu, and many had no expo whatsoever. A few changes on the transmitter and they were all smiles

Thanks guys! I going with 10 elevator, 15 aileron, 10 expo for low. 15e, 20a, 25expo for mid and 20e, 30a, 30expo for high for starters. Rudder I'm keeping 45 for high and 50% expo down to 25 for low. That should give me plenty of wiggle room to play with.

thats a good conservative start, if you're using only 10 degrees on elevator, perhaps step it up a bit, or take off on high rates.
Reason is that 10 degrees may not be enough authority to correct trouble if lower. I've seen guys bottom out their stick and bellied in..If you fly warbirds on low rates then it may feel just fine for you,. Typically modern aerobatic planes are designed for more deflection, and some may feel very mushy on low low rates.
Good luck and enjoy.
