Mode two.

But, when I was a kid we used to slope soar afterschool and put the antenna between our leggs and fly with the TX upside down just for fun. What mode is that?

One of the instructors at the field I fly at often flies with the transmitter behind his back. It is real funny to watch but he makes it look so easy.

Default Mode??

Hey, wgeffon that sounds like the"goofy" mode! hehehe------BladeRunner.

Since you guys fly with the TX upside down for fun, maybe you can answer a question for me?
Q. Is it cruel to take a dislexic (sp?) person to a 3-D movie??
Strange minds need to know!

I fly Mode 1 since I switched from M-2 several years ago. Another question might be: Do you use your fingers and thumbs or just your thumbs on the transmitter sticks?

I only fly mode two and with thumbs only. Anybody that flys mode one, three, or four, is a lot smarter than me. If they fly with thumbs and fingers they are also a lot better flyer than I am. James Goss

Default Transmitter Mode

How about a left handed mode 2. JR calls it Mode 3, but I think Futaba calls mode 4.

Actually, I fly my personal models lefty style, aileron-elevator on left and rudder-throttle on right. I test fly planes on all other modes, mostly regular mode 2.

How do I keep them straight? I fly right handed holding the transmitter, but I fly with a neck strap left handed. The feel of the neck strap tells me I am flying lefty.

Well, you know what THEY say? If the RIGHT side of your brain controls the LEFT side of your body, and the LEFT side of your brain controls the RIGHT side of your body?
That can only mean that left handed people are always in their RIGHT mind!! Hehehehe-I know , I know, it's late and I should be going now. ---------BladeRunner.
