imo if you like it at 1/2 leave it at half. just prepare for the heli to drop a little when you switch modes.
i think one of the reasons for having a 1/2 stick hover is so that you can have 2 pitch settings after the hover point.. with 3/4 stick, you only have one.
itll keep you on your toes. if you cant prepare for the drop, you shouldnt be doing 3d
