Still up to the pilot to return the craft to level but a full stick command cannot flip the vehicle.

Settings

Rate trainer settings can be defined using the basic or advanced tab.

Go to Configuration > Stabilization tab

Rate trainer uses the same parameters like Rate mode. Because bank angle is limited, setting high rates do not make sense here, just keep default settings.

Basic tab

Tick the "Use basic configuration" checkbox.

The max bank angle can be adjusted here, Rate trainer uses the Attitude response value for that.

Safe values for bank angle limitation if you are a beginner in Rate mode could be around 20-30degrees.
