Actually it is perfectly safe to use full deflection of any surface during flight at or below maneuvering speed and while in a clean configuration.. this is the way it was designed.. your passengers will probably not be very happy, but if it is needed, you should feel perfectly safe and confident that you will not hurt the aircraft. I have used full left aileron and full left rudder to recover from a downdraft that made my right wing drop so that I was in about a 70 % bank to the right. The main thing in a situation like that is to keep the aircraft straight and level and try not to lose any altitude.. :)

Yes, I can reproduce this as well. Of course, you shouldn't push the stick all the way forward like that during normal flight, but the program still shouldn't crash I wonder if this still happens with the engine turned off.
