Mode 1 mode 2 need help
If you haven't made a choice already may I suggest you mode 3?
Nobody talcked about it but I think it should be the best solution for you.
In mode three you have the entire ciclic on one stick, the left one, and engine and tail on the other.
By using this kind of mode you'll have the advantage of having the one stick plate but also it will be very easy to swithc to mode 1 if you need help from someone as you just swithc the aileron with the tail on the reciver and tx and that's it. No need of mechanical changes. Only 30 second to swithc from 3 to 1.
