Thanks tippy, that help lots

. So even if most people in australia fly mode 1, and thats what most people in the hobby shops fly, u recon if im best at mode 3 i should go for that? Also, if i do get into 3D flying or aerobatics, will mode 3 give me and disadvantage over mode 1?
looks like mode 3 will be fine, although to me it makes the most sense to fly mode 2, but then again I am from the US where that is what we fly anyways =)
The main thing is never let someone else fly your bird because the controls will all be very different and they will probably crash it =)
It's easier to switch the mode controls on an airplane, but I've never really seen anyone that is proficient at doing it with a heli.
