Don't worry about rates.
Set the plane up so that you are at the manufacturers minimums then adjust from there. You may find that you need less throw than recommended. That is what I have on my Giles. I never fly with the recommend rates. My plane snaps 100% of the time with the recommended low rates. I will admit, if I fly 3D, I will need the recommended high rates and even more, but for now, extremely low rates work.
