The more I read, the more I realize that I really have to get my mind set on dual rates. I don't normally use them because it's just something to add on to the load before taking off.. where is the switch and what position is it in.

Anyway, it's time for me to grow up and move into a more advanced level of flying.

On my Pulse,I started out with dual rates,but later experimented with exponential. I was able to simulate the feel of the dual rates,without having to flip a switch. So now I get the full throw of the high rates when I push the sticks to their extremes,but when the sticks are closer to center as in normal flying,it's fairly tame like low rates. I've flown it that way ever since. This is on a sport plane. Not sure if it would be as effective on a 3d plane with even more extreme throws. An extremely twitchy plane might benefit from using both.
