If you increase the ratio between stick-travel and control-surface deflection, you'll most likely severely damage the aircraft since you go beyond the loadlimits, or you'll put yourself into a G-LOC situation with subsequent loss of control. Which, in an aircraft (and ESPECIALLY at events like Reno, usually means that you die.

There's usually a reason as to why the controls are set up as they are in aircraft.
