| Thats perfectly ok to run at 60%. If you want, you could adjust your linkages to make it closer to 100. This would give you more torque from the servo, but less speed. If your servo can handle it (it probably can) I would just leave it like it is and run 60%. If you are using the "3D" hole on the washout arms, you could move back to the regular hole and probably end up with 100% at 6 degrees. I am doing mild 3D and still do not use the "3D" hole on the washout. I see no need for it. It seems to do nothing but increase your "throw" and if you can get 7 degrees out of the stock hole then why bother. I could be wrong, it may change the geometry. Maybe someone else can give some input here.
If you get to a point where 7 degrees is not fast enough for you, run different paddles, not more throw. KSJ's as well as others have proven to greatly increase rate without having to run more than 7 degrees. The stock paddles and 6 degrees will carry you through basic flight, loops, rolls, etc without any problems.
