Pete,

What happens if your "normal" rates are too much? You haven't given yourself an 'out' in case you need LOW rates.

I would suggest having the suggested rate in the middle and having a low & high on either side just in case it is needed, but this is just my recommendation, take it for what it is worth. Some suggested rates are too much in some cases and it is not a fun time to find this out during a maiden flight and have no options but 'more' rate. Give yourself the best chance for a successful maiden flight especially since it's your first.
