Default Split elevator rate setup question

Danny,

Basic setup question for you. I have split elevators setup and to get equal throws, I have to set the RATE on my ELEV-SPOI function to 103% in both directions. If the mechanical linkages are the same, why is there a need for increasing the throw of one servo relative to another? Does this sort of setup (i.e., having the 103% rate setting) have any negative consequences?

Thanks!

For one thing there is no such thing as a perfect mechanical set up, they can be close side to side, but it isn't possible for them to be perfectly identical. Also one servo can throw slightly different than another. 3% difference is not a large enough difference to cause any issue.
