That's a pretty encompassing statement.

Many smaller planes ( .60 and below and in some cases larger ) have recommended high rate throws of less than 1".

If I dial up a several planes that I have that high, they WILL snap hard. The measurement is relative to the size of the plane and control surfaces. 1" on one plane is not the same as on another.



I also have the CMP 1.40 Yak 54.

It will snap all right, but if you dial in the rates to the recommended there is nothing that I see unusual.

If you fly it at high rates the snap tendancy may catch you during a slow speed approach turn....

But that's really pilot error IMHO. Other similiarly sized and constructed Yaks are no different.
