It's actually sort of funny sometimes.

We've got a fairly loudmouthed guy at one field whose mission in life seems to be to show everyone how his computer radio has made the hobby so much easier for him. And he usually winds up yelling about how "he paid big bucks for it, why not use it".

I got him to show me his endpoints the other day when he very quietly asked how to get his throws "just a bit more than normal". Turns out he's got everything to the max in his radio. And he can't get the airplane to stall. Not enough elevator throw. He's got the servo arm connection at max out. And hasn't got the arm centered. And when he pushes the stick to max, the connection basically goes around the bend (what CharlieP mentions in post#16 above) about half the movement.

It's really a bit pathetic actually. This guy said that he really liked the way the airplane responded with "the extra throws he was getting out of the radio" and wondered if there was a way to modify the radio to get more. He really didn't want to hear what was wrong and went off looking for someone "who knew more about radios."
