Default Thumbs or Pinch?

Mark,

I saw you fly at this years Mid Winters Electric show in San Diego 2005. It looked to me like you use thumbs to fly.
Do you always use thumbs or do you use your finger on the stick as well? Which do you think is optimum?

I use thumbs. I think that you should use anything that you are most comfortable with. It's very difficult to change.

Ahh the thumbs vs. thumbs and fingers controversy...It use to be said that for smoooooothness you needed to use the thumbs and fingers on the sticks. I am guessing with all the mixing, expo's and what ever else the new radios can do you can fly with thumbs just as easy...Basically stick with what you do best...
I think with futabas new radio you just put the CD in the drive and set the plane on the runway right???
