Forestroke....what you say might be doable if I could find a Mode 1 TX. The real problem I am continually faced with is finding only Mode II TX's all over the place. So when I started all of this I was in the frame of mind that I was only going to be able to buy a Mode 2 TX and having to figure out how to get it changed over. Then I learn I can buy a Futaba 6EXA, and make it what I want. What's more the Futaba 6EXA is in my price range. The only inconvenience is that I have to send it to Futaba Customer Service and have them move the detents and spring for the throttle from the left stick to the right stick. Then I get everything just the way I want it.

I realize that as many others have said; I could spend the time practicing and learning to use what I call opposite hands on opposite sticks. But why should I do this? If I can set up my transmitter the way I feel comfortable why shouldn't I do it. The only reason that has been offered to me to force myself to use a Mode 2 TX is the trainer issue. I need only remind myself that 30 years ago we didn't have trainer units and I learned to fly just fine. I did it then and I'll do it now.

But forestroke thanks for taking an interest in my inquiry.
