I never maiden a plane on low rates, I don't want to be fumbling for a switch if a plane needs more control and if I have too much throw I'm the one in control of the sticks.
I totally agree.
Nevertheless, about a year ago I was maidening a new pattern ship and set up the throws much like my 3d UCanDo.
Full throttle down the runway, I pulled in way too much elevator, tip stalled, rolled inverted and miraculously managed an inverted climb out. Of course I said that the entire maneuver was planned.
