  Whatever works for you but if you can manage to set up a compromise with max. travel and more expo you'd be better off. Flipping switches (except for landing mode if necessary) is generally considered a bad thing.

    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?
