Confused about Mode 1 or 2
If you're flying planes, leave it just like it is. If you're gonna fly a Helli leave it just like it is only remove the ratchet (it's annoying cause Helli's need constant throttle adjustment planes don't) You can switch mode 1/2 in the transmitter by opening up and reversing the wires for the pots connected to the vertical axis of both sticks, and swapping the throttle ratchet with the spring. It's entirely up to your preference.
