Careful there...

I would recommend setting throws to RECOMMENDED levels and then use the low rate setting of your TX to lower that to about 50-60% of that.

This way if you find that the plane is not responsive enough for a safe landing ( e.g. you don't have enough up elevator to maintain glideslope ), you can always flip to high rates to bring it down.

However by starting off at the lesser than recommended rate, you get the same effect as what CGretired is suggestion.
