A new plane will be flown on low rates generally, giving me time to get to know the plane. Eventually high rates will be used on occasion, but take off and landing done on low. This whole time, dual rate travels, as well as expo levels will be adjusted. When right, the center 20% of my stick travels will duplicate what I have going on for low rate, with the rest of the stick travel set as necessary to get roll rates right (no use for ballistic roll rates here), elevator up and down travel right (they are way different on my planes!), etc. When right, after a LOT of testing/adjusting (weeks!), I'll find my self so comfortable on high rate I'll rarely use low. Everything set this way, sport and 3D.
