The real problem is that everything I've seen I have to play it as if I were in the mirror and that even in the simulator.
I built an FT Edge 540 at 120% in depron. It flies very well a lot of power and it is slow to learn but my 3D flying is random
.
Is there a reason why most pilots fly in mode 2?
Most fly it because - it was how their first transmitter (or the one used by the instructor) was configured.
Way back in the day there were grand debates about what was better, with lots of justifications. But it seemed to end up with "it's what I fly".
In the one video by "Wamsey" I recently watched in the thread link (above), he makes a point of showing the "Funnel Hover" in both Mode 2 and Mode 1. He might do the same in his other video's.
It really depends on how easily you think you can make the transition. I'd never have the patience to climb the relearning curve - same as when I try to fly using the "pinch" method rather than thumbs. But others seem to be able to make the change rather easily.
