Default RE: Mode 1 verses Mode 2

ORIGINAL: A-STU-DENT

Try to duplicate a smooth diagonal line with an Etch A Sketch. yeah it is an apple and this is an orange...but repeating and repetition is difficult.


Ha color me a proud Etch-A-Sketch Pilot

I am with your permission going to have some vinyl grafics made up "The Etch-A-Sketch Flyer" for some of my airplanes brilliant

Hey you started it and you are getting lots of opinion and everyone is being cool. No matter what the more you try to convince anyone they are flying the wrong mode, the harder you are going to fall and thats a fact.

The facts are in the US mode 11 is predominate virtually everywhere without geografic considerations. There is a small percentage of certain aerobatic disciplines that prefer mode 1 and there is a small percentage of old timers who prefered not to change to mode two with a likely equal number of old timers like myself who did choose to change. All the old timers from that era are collectively becoming a non issue though simply because we are rapidly dieing off. Also note if the aerobatic types who prefer mode one impresses you then consider the pylon types where mode 1 is virtually unheard of and in some cases even frowned on.

Oh boy I can feel the turds of Santa's raindeer falling on my head already for the heracys I postulated in that paragraph
