Default Which mode?

Hello!
I think most fliers the world over uses mod 2!
That is ailerons and elevators on the right stick and throttle and side rudder on the left stick.
The reason for this is that most people are right handed...
and as such we want to have the most important/dominant functions coupled to the right stick, and on an airplane that is ailerons and elevator!! In Sweden I have never seen or heard anyone using anything else than mode 2 in all my 27 years of modelflying.

Look again Jan,
There is an awefull lot of people using Mode I in Europe as there are a lot of people in North America using Mode I, The majority is using Mode 2 because when they join, everyone else in their club is using Mode 2. I have used Mode 2 then Mode I before that I used a single stick.
The bottom line is to use what you like to use.

I loved mode I and now on mode two, but I regret going to mode two, because I felt smoother with mode I, but that's just me.
With mode 2, I fly with the tray and no one else can fly my plane anyway, so no real addvantage.
