First off to clarify, I am a 3D newbie. But I have a question.

I fly a H9 Cap (1/4) with Moki 1.8. I fly with ailerons and rudder in high rate all the time, easy to manage, in fact I like the quick response. BUT, the high rate (3D) for the elevator is a different matter. It's soooo easy to get a little frisky with it trying to recover from something and snap the plane.

I am making myself learn to fly the plane more with the 3D elevator throws on. I'm working hard on elevators/harriers and would like to start bringing them down. BUT, I don't need to be fooling around with a rate switch trying to recover a fall-out at low altitude.

That said. What do you do? Flip low rates on as soon as you finish a 3D manuever? Or fly out in 3D elevator rates just breathing on the stick to avoid trouble? I'm curious and would like to hear from those who have done a bit of 3D.

YES, I am running some expo in high rate elevator, but I have also found too much expo makes the elevator hit hard about mid stick instead of a better more linear feel. Running 50% now with +/- 45 degree throws on 3D rate.
