If it seems hard for you to change over, imagine this: I flew Mode 1 for about twenty five years. I always used a tray and have also been a finger/thumb pilot. About two years ago I changed over to Mode 2 and ditched the tray. Had no problems flying fixed wings but helicopters were a different issue. I never got as good as I was in Mode 1. So, finally I gave up helicopters and now fly airplanes only. I don't even think about Mode 1 anymore. But my finger/thumb style remained and that's one thing I am not going to change.
