i should have clarified that better, yes when / if they do clatter - as you say - don't persist back off. The idea is to have it rigged right so that it doesn't damage anything.
The point is that to help you in a slope landing you may need full cylic control, if you haven't got it because the A/C isn't rigged right then it's not the engineers fault for the poor rigging, it's yours for not checking it.
of course there are many other applications of flight where incorrect rigging only becomes apparant when it becomes critical; rolling too quickly towards an off centre load when the disc is wrongly rigged toward the load is one of the more spectacular. Pretty f*n dynamic that i'll say. Recovery, is usually bottom pedal - then aft cyclic. It can be top pedal, collective down a bit then aft cyclic. these things (secondary effect of controls) should be checked and learnt at ab-initio stage.
another is when say a machine is loaded well toward the forward CofG and the fuel burns off out of the tanks which are behind the CofG.
