Are you saying i`ll need more total throw than i have showing for landing ?
No that's lots. But you'll want to stay far away from that much travel at speed.

It's strictly personal, but my temptation would be to knock down the travel on low rate and do something like this:

- high rate full throw with 25-30% expo
- medium rate either full throw with 40-50% expo, or 65%-70% throw and 25-30% expo as per high rate
- low rate 50% throw and 25-30% expo

I'm not sure the expo levels you are suggesting, coupled with that elevator throw, will be smooth enough at top speed. But, you do have a throttle if things get hairy after all.

This is just $0.02 from a guy who prefers rate changes to more expo, so bear that in mind before swearing by what I suggest (but go ahead and swear at it). I just don't like rapid throw change at the higher end of stick travel, not on this type of stuff. I prefer a more linear response in case I react a little too quickly and energetically to something that needs reacting to.
