Well, you are right. As DJ above your post stated, he never used Dual Rates either. I started with Expo a long time ago and really never felt the need for DR, so I never used it.
I'll play with it and see what works best for me. I do really like the ''soft'' feel of Expo with the capability to go full tilt without having to flip a switch. We will see, I guess.
Beginners ought to get some good information out of this thread, mainly because it deals with some of the issues that come up with DR and Expo, and, of course, throw. And the ''Pro's'' are posting some great ideas and thoughts on the subject. Good stuff!!!

Yup,DJ must have been posting,while I was still typing lol. The main reason I tried dual rates on the Pulse,is because it gets rather squirrely on the ground handling. So at first I would just flip a switch to tame down the rudder for landing. But that can really catch you off guard if you forget to flip the switch and are expecting the reduced response! I would also mess up the other way,trying a knife-edge and realizing I didn't have full rates on. So you have to be careful when using switches that affect control surfaces.
