Recommend Expediential:
15% expediential on low rates
30% expediential on high rates
60% expediential on 3D rates
Use the given rates as a starting point. Then
adjust rates from there to suit your own
flying style.
More down elevator throw is
recommended this will
give the pilot the same stick feel in either
upright or inverted flight.
