As we all know, with mode 2. Rudder and Throttle is on the Left stick / Aileron and Elevator is on the Right stick.

Now, if your aircraft is only 3 channel, IE, no ailerons, and only has a rudder elevator and throttle, you should put the rudder on the RIGHT stick.

That way you are banking and turning with the right stick and learning correct muscle memory. (secondary effect of rudder is roll)

This is how I have seen 3 channel planes operated for over 30 years

Moving from 3 channels to a 4 channel aircraft with ailerons, your rudder switches to the left stick, the ailerons are on the right stick so you are still banking and turning with the right stick.

There should be no confusion with that.

Same deal for Mode 1, the only difference is throttle and elevator are always opposite to Mode 2.
