Default RE: Mode 1


ORIGINAL: DGM

PS. as far as Mode II like flying a "real" plane , most light planes are flown with the left hand controlling the elevator and the ailerons. The right hand runs the throttle, mixture, trims, etc. (Unless you are flying a "stick" plane like a PT-17 or J-3 Cub, etc.

I have said as much before. As for a J3 Cub you hold the stick with your right hand and throttle with your left, but for side to side stick planes you use your left hand on the stick and right on the throttle. There is little confusion when flying and switching from type to typebecause of the huge resistance of the elevator compared to the aileron. Most making that claim have never flown a full sized aircraft.
