Re: [Paparazzi-devel] mixing, rates and expos in manual

[Reto Büttner]

Hi Tilman

I do not recommend having less manual rudder deflections than autonomous. You 
want to have full control in manual, e.g. for landings in windy conditions, to 
be able to fly really slow or just some aerobatics for fun.

I recommend an RC Simulator on the PC for training. That helps a lot and 
requires no glue after crashing :-)

Happy landings,
Reto
