forestroke-

Smoggy addressed the mode issue in another thread and I believe the consensus there finally came up with calling it "Mode 4". As he was totally self taught, he just set his planes up the way he liked. Perhaps he just started out with rud/elev on the right so when he added a function the only avail stick was on the left. Again, a hazard of self teaching and perhaps not reading the manuals that come with the planes and radios. Only Smoggy knows for sure. I don't think it is too late for him to change over to "Mode 2". Should be just a matter of moving servo plugs and checking direction of throws. Think about it for your next plane Smoggy, MOST of us sport fliers find it more intuitive to fly Mode 2. Most of those not flying Mode 2 use Mode 1. I won't get into the pro/con issues here, I'll leave that for others. Mode 2 is ail/elev on the right stick, just like holding the stick of a Piper Cub or P-51 between your legs. No, I'm not suggesting that you hold your transmitter between your legs. Be serious for a moment.
