I learned flying RC 16 yrs back using mode 1, then started flying drones on mode 1 for past decades, I also fly DCS combat sim F18 using thrustmaster throttle on left and stick on right, (my brain is wired such way, but when flying rc my brain is wired with mode 1.

this yeah i planned to jump back into hobby and got ix14, I convert it myself to mode 1 not so hard, I tried mode 2 tbh if i really focus i can fly it but its disastrous

In short, I fly RC mode 1, I fly F18 sim on mode 2
i can't mix

im starting to learn flying 3d, just unsure is rolling harrier and rifle roll is it easier on mode 1 or mode 2 i think only person can answer this is someone who know how to fly both mode on 3d otherwise what people are flying they gonna talk high about that mode
