Thanks for the suggestions RCKen & Charlie P.

I review what has happened after every flying session. I'm fairly sure that my over controlling is more due to excessive stick throw rather than reaction time or confusion about the direction of stick throw.

I don't mean to sound like I'm over confident, or just plain "cockey", but I've used an RC simulator quite a bit. Additionally, I am a retired full size airplane/sail plane pilot and a long time model airplane flyer (non RC though). So; right or wrong, I believe that I pretty well understand the basics.

What do you think about setting the rudder & elevator end points for less throw? Although I'm sure there will be times when full throw may be needed, it seems to me that being able to fly most flights is more important (at this stage) than is the less frequent ocassion when more control is needed.
