<DIV><SPAN class=970503301-09102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>The high rate
rudder with high expo will work, until you get into snaps. Then you might switch
into high rate aileron with high expo and low rate rudder and elevator set-up.
Switching for a stall turn seems less stressful than for a snap. But that's
looking ahead.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=970503301-09102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I have flown
both the Sportsman and Intermediate with low rates on all surfaces. The "trick"
to the stall turn on low rate is to NOT wait until the last minute to start
adding rudder. I like to tell everyone it's like adding rudder like you would
follow an expo curve. Little, little more, little more and then full (only when
the plane will not fly over the top). It takes a bit of getting used to, but it
works, all the way through to FAI also. I do have a high rate/high expo rudder
set-up for rolling circles/loops (along with low rate aileron for 1 and 2
rollers) and those "O S" stall turns. I prefer the low rates on rudder and
elevator cause now I don't have to flip switches for snaps.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=970503301-09102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>But
ultimately it comes down to what YOU feel comfortable doing. After some
practice, the rudder switch should become a motion rather than a
thought.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Dual Rate<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I'm working on the Intermediate pattern and have got a question
on dual rates.</DIV>
<DIV>Except for the stall turns I like to keep the rudder on a lower
rate...this keeps me from over-controlling direction changes.</DIV>
<DIV>On the two stall turn maneuvers, however, I flip it to high rate,
but then back again as soon as the maneuver is over.</DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
