How do you define a normal person?

As mentioned above, go with whichever mode is prevalent at your club, or the club you plan to join. It is a beech when you are on a mode which is not familiar at your club. I fly both mode 1 & 2. I learned mode 2 when I started in the US, but when I moved to South Africa, mode 1 was more common at the clubs. I switched to mode 1 so I could help newbie pilots as an instructor. There are advantages and disadvantages with either. There is very little, if any, real difference in reality. Look at what modes are in use by the worlds top pilots. From watching their flying you can't tell what mode they are using. It takes practice, is all.

Safe Flying!
