RE: Mode 1 or Mode 2 Question of preference
Campbec's post is the FIRST I have EVER seen on this topic where the Mode 1 flyer was modest about his choice. That makes a total ot TWO Mode 1 flyers I know of who don't boast about how much better it is.
There's a guy in one of my clubs that flies (and instructs) either mode. He doesn't say much about it, but when he bought a 9C he called 'em up and found out how to make it Mode 1. He is perhaps 75 years old. One of his contemporaries flies at another of my clubs, on Mode 2. Both are excellent fliers.
I don't believe there's much difference, but I do know there's a debate!
Good luck,
Dave Olson
