4Dogs,

My personal experiences have shown a complete disagreement to your post. I have unknowingly entered the "servo transparency" in a flight condition I feel was very routine and quite gentle.

I say to you, be careful of this situation, don't approach it with such casual disregard.

Given a higher gross weight ( Did you practice this with a full load ? ) a different flight altitude, a different 350 model, a different Outside air temperature, and most importantly, a flight situation where you MUST turn to aviod terrain, you may find that the aircraft may surprise you in how quick it bites.

You end your last post with "Stay Alive", good advice, I say ...practice it !

Fly the type smoothly....
Always leave yourself an "out".....
Anticipate that the control transparency may occur at the worst possible time.....
