I fully agree, why are people buying high end radios and treating them like 4 channels, not using the rates, expo or mixing. Drive a steak in my hart before you ask me to use a Y harness just to keep it simple. Buy a good radio and learn to use it.

IMHO having a TX with the option of dual rates and not using them is like buying a car with A/C and not using it.
Set them up and if the plane is too twitchy on that first flight switch to low rates and get more comfortable.
HOWEVER I do agree with the people who say that if you are careless enough to fly with the wrong rate selected then it can be a problem. Thats why you do a preflight check.
