8178,

You ask a very good question. If you set up a plane the way that I do, which is to set up surfaces using 100% of available servo movement, how can you possibly get 130% from the servo? Have to find a tech rep to go into that one... or, I think I'll play with one of my sport planes and see what the 130% setting does if I already am using 100% of the servo movement. I'm certain everyone has their preferences as some people like "soft centers" and others prefer "breathe on" centers. I am one of the latter in that when I touch the stick I immediately want the plane to react. No ramp up, no expo. I used to set up triple rate ailerons for 3 rolls (in 5 seconds), slow roll and maximum for other manuvers. I find now that I can do the slow roll just as well on the 3 roll in 5 second setting. I think it depends on how you practice, and what feels good (and scores well)..... snowing here right now.. so guess it's time to build tomorrow.
