RE: Mode 1 verses Mode 2
Someone once said our passion for R/C flying is based on the ability to experience some aspect of aviation that we are otherwise unable. That may be due to age, finances, location, physical abilities, etc. Having said that, the age old discussion of Mode 1 vs. Mode 2 is easily resoloved. We all know that every fighter ever designed had one stick for elevator and another for ailerons. :-)
