Default thrust vector

Hi, someone with experience in thrust vector?
what relation of travels between the vector nozzle and elevators and rudder?
I would like to adjust my Avanti XXL correctly

They should move together, right rudder equals right thrust, up elevator equals up thrust.

but you have reduce the travel when using vector? or respect the same as manufacturer says unused vector?
I think that should be reduced using vector, no?

That would all depend on what the pilot wanted and personal liking. You could set thrust to as much or little as you like, you can always set up different throws and see what works best.

Thrust vectoring is going to make a huge difference in the jets sensitivity if everything remains the same.

on my TV jet the rates everywhere are the same so the sensitivity goes up but you should only use TV at low speeds to make sure that you minimize the flight loads on the plane.

you really only use TV to make extreme maneuvers so high sensitivity is usually desired.

Keep your throws the same and just be careful when you first switch on the TV during flight then you can feel it out and turn the TV off if its way to much for you

I increased reg throws with tv. But as mentioned above, only use at slow speed. Also negative expo to make tv move faster. But again , all a preference. Love having the tv , lots of fun to do tumbles and flat spins. I don't have gyro, on a mild windy day, doing high alpha stuff looked like a kite up their.
