you are a man on a island my friend.
the sticks are set up like a real plane and you are best served to learn the time honored and established way way to fly your plane.
if you are in a full scale airplane, to go up you pull back on the yoke/stick, to go down you push forward or in your case up learning in reverse bad habit if you have a simulator then the sticks will be set up in the standard way if you were to try to fly another plane that is not set up in reverse then you are setting yourself up for a quick crash.
I am sure this is just the first post of many.
