I'm working on the Intermediate pattern and have got a question  on dual 
rates.
Except for the stall turns I like to keep the rudder on a lower  rate...this 
keeps me from over-controlling direction changes.
On the two stall turn maneuvers, however,  I flip it to high rate,  but then 
back again as soon as the maneuver is over.
Just curious if anyone else does this, and, in fact, does anyone  alternate 
between low and high rates while flying their respective  sequences?  Or, am I 
generating a bad  habit?



I leave the rates alone. I use a VERY high percentage (60% - 70%) of  
exponential in my rudder so it is real soft towards the center of the stick and  
still have full throw when needed.
 
I also am an Intermediate pilot and I have enough to think about while  
flying besides switches.
