Default RE: Question on throws

Flying Sportsman -> Intermediate, I've got about 7 degrees on ailerons and elevator. I have full rudder throw but may be too much for everything but snaps.

It's all about feel. If you are not yet using rudder on rolls, then you need to roll fast enough to not lose too much altitude, but slow enough that you can control the plane, maintain constant roll rate, and stop it on point. The most elevator I need is for practicing square loops and the Shark's Tooth angles.

I personally have found the plane to be much more controllable with less throws, and think it looks more graceful with slower rates. Of course, this is all my opinion and you should try things out and do what works the best for you.
