Getting into Heli's for the first time, I've wondered what the difference was between Mode 1 and 2 set up.

Now, here's the million dollar question: I fly airplanes Mode 1, so my tranmitters have the ratcheting throttle on the right. DO I LEARN HELI'S IN MODE 2? WILL THAT HURT MY PLANE FLYING?

If I do learn Mode 2 heli's, I will need different transmitters. What to do, what to do?

I like the idea that someone else could fly my Mode 2 heli, if I needed help.

I learned to fly planes just after they invented the light bulb. Scratch that, make it the Light emitting Diode.
