I've flown 2 ch -2 stick (used to be referred to as Monkey Mode), 2 ch - 1 stick, multi channel (3 or more) 2 and 4 stick and single stick. I agree with WER about flying single stick - it seems to a lot easier (boy, where the old single stick Pro Line, Kraft Signature Series and Airtonics Champion Ship Series radios nice). After a bit of flying all kinds, I find I really don't even think about it - it's more of where are switches located so one isn't inadvertently knocked. The only kind I have to think about is flying mode 1 - for mode 2 fliers that is just bassackwards! It can't hurt to learn how to fly both styles of transmitter is you can, and neither is harder than the other unless you make up your mind you can't do it because it's different.

WER - I recently came across somebody who will make up a custom single stick radio, but don't remember right now where I saw it. You may want to do an internet search for them.
