Default Getting over the right stick break

Since I purchased G3, I've gotten more solid stick time in than the sum of all my actual flights during 2005 (only 11 of them).

I find that the right stick on my Futaba 7CAP, with its self centering feature common to most radios, is tough to control with accuracy. When rolling out of a steep turn, the airplane will climb and I'll have to give it down elevator, and I find that as I pass through the neutral position and the risistance changes, the flight path is choppy. Same thing happens when turning final and doing the nuance stick movements required to put the plane where I want it.

The included G3 interlink has a smoother break and allows me (at least during the learning process where I am) to fly a more uniform flight path.

It seems that ideally, the stick wouldn't have a break but would have uniform resistance across its whole range of motion. That would be nice.
