Default RE: Exceading recomended control throws?

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I'm using an APC 12 x 4.
The serfice is definatly below 45 degrees.
I forgot to mention what I did:
Before, I had all the rods at the outer-most hole. I mesured the max throws (100% Duel rates, 100% servo throw), then put the rods in the inner-most holes, and set low rates for the old throws (around 48% D/R). Now high rates are nearly the full throw (100% D/R).

I was thinking about it, and remembered that most 3D pilots use 2 rates: normal rates, and 3D rates. That is, at normal flying speeds, they have the low, or flying, rates on. Once they go slow, they flip it over to 3D rates, to get more control at low speeds. Maybe I'll do that: Takeoff, flight and landings at low rates (which are basiclly the high rates of before), and when I try to do 3D stuff very slow, I'll simply flip over to "3D rates".

What do you think?

Thanks,
Erez
