rckowal,
I can understand what you are saying here, but trust us when we advise this. Yes, it is too much stick throw. you are moving the stick too far. Please don't adjust the end points on the controls, this could lead to your not having enough throw when you need it. As was stated above, it's a "feel" that you need to learn. Nothing more, nothing less. This is actually one place where your full scale experience will actually hurt you. In a full scale plane your senses help you when are controlling the plane. You move the stick and you can see AND feel the plane reacting to that stick movement. Now with the RC plane you can't feel what the plane is doing any longer. As well as the point of viewing the plane has changed. You're not in the plane any longer. You are outside looking at the plane. It's a totally different perspective and you need to learn to react to that. Just the same way that you had to learn in the full scale. Things are different for RC planes and they need to be learned.

Not to slight you in any way, but this is probably the biggest reason why I suggest that beginners have a "plain jane" bare bones radio for their trainer. Using a computer radio makes it too easy for a beginner to try using "shortcuts" like this, and wind up in more trouble. As I said in my first post, using a crutch causes more problems than it fixes. If you try to rely on the radio you will never learn the skills you need to successfullly fly more advanced planes
