Stefan,
I guess you could have that much down throw, but I don't see the point.
On my HLG I have equal throws. I have the travel volume maxed out (or at
least close) but to handle the extreme control I use 100% exponential with
my computer radio. I get the fine, soft feel of small throws with low stick
movement along with the large, quick responses that a hand launch needs for
low level flying. Or at least that's how I like it.
As for that specific launch mode, it's a must. What I use on my Futaba
8UF is the programmable mixing with the channel 8 adjustment knob into my up
elevator. I set it to the trainer switch so that I hold the switch down to
give just about 1/16th inch up. I throw my hand launch and let the up trim
point the plane up enough to get altitude, then release the switch when it
has reached the desired climb angle. Then I level off at the top of the
launch to go find some lift.
This system has given me at least ten more feet of altitude on a good
launch. For a V-tail, you need to Pmix both v-tail servo channels.
I hope I didn't confuse you too much.
