Hi,

Mode 1 separates the ailerons and elevators.

Since most flying is done with the ailerons and elevators, I found I had more precise control when using my right thumb for one control (ailerons) and the left thumb for the other control (elevator). With Mode 2, I found it harder to achive precise control of a second axis when the stick is a little off center. This is a personal preference.

I can fly Mode 2 and also single stick, but I always return to Mode 1.

Personally I don't care what people fly, as long as they come to the flying field and fly. I think half the fun of the hobby is the friends you make and the learnig of new techniques through the exchange of information.

Fly4Fun,
