yep, i fly thumbs, it has worried me seeing alot of top-end pilots use pinch. i can hover and probably fly around with pinch, it's just not comfy. i'm used to hitting throttle hold wiht index finger, go figure. i didn't find presicion a problem with thumbs and i don't have any expo dailed in. i can now hover the blade inverted (it's my first heli, taught me everything from hovering to inverted hovering right now, never used a sim). and i think i'll stick with thumbs.

i think the problem for me with pinch is first, it's not comfy, and second, i can't feel center, i can increase teh stick tension, but i don't really want' to do that.
