Denzen the difference between mode 1 and mode 2 (this is just another way of describing it) is it mearly swaps places with the elevator control and the throttle control:


Mode 1: Elevator is on the left. Throttle is on the right.

Mode 2: Elevator is on the right. Throttle is on the left.

The rudder and the ailerons stays where they are on either mode.

Now as a suggestion I am one of those from long ago when two stick proportional control became avalible fortyfive years ago or so after the old "bump toggles", that flew mode 1 up until the late ninetys and the reason I did so was I wanted to be able to teach and sell or trade stuff with my fellow flyers . So I made the decision make the changeover and never looked back, with no regrets.

There are some forms of competitive aerobatics that mode 1 is argualably better but certainly not all forms of competiion with it being almost non existant in pylon racing for example. I won,t argue the pros or cons only that never looked back after making the changeover.

I do think that the folks who use transmitter trays and are fingertips flyers sometimes tend to use mode one. Me? nope no way no more.

Hmm, now when I fly controlline with a transmitter hanging on my neck and the sticks pointing at the airplane the throttle is on my right but the transmitter left.. OH my!
