Default Honesty why 10x?

Very true Eddie. They do. But it comes down to a personal preference. Bob Violett's sets his airplanes up with WAY more control throw than I like. I guess that comes back to my aerobatics flying, but I like a soft, smooth flying airplane. The only downside of this is that sometimes I run out of elevator on landing. So I use a higher rate elevator for landing.

One thing you bring up though makes a lot of sense and I think it will be lost unless it's repeated over and over.

To paraphrase: Just because a radio CAN do something, doesn't mean you MUST do it. These radios have more capabilities than 99% of the masses will ever use. The best thing I can suggest is try to keep things as simple as possible for YOU. I prefer to flip a switch for each change rather than group a lot of things together, but others may want to assign many actions to a single switch. Personal preference.
