Arrrh the great debate, Mode 1 or Mode 2 not to mention the strange mixes used by the heli types.

I have read that if you want to be competitive in pattern flying Mode 1 is the way to go as most of the top flyers use Mode 1 and can help you trim out your model.

I think the reality is most people have learn't the same mode as their instructor and stick with it. I learned to fly Mode 1 and the thought of trying to learn a different mode doesn't even rate a blip on my radar.

Cheers,
