before we get a flame war going... maybe I oughta reexplain what i was saying. All I was saying is if you fly mode 3, don't go to the feild and let someone else fly your bird because they will probably crash it. I have heard of guys adjusting from a mode 2 to a mode 1 airplane in flight, but I have never heard someone adjusting from mode either mode 1 or 2 inflight with a heli to mode 3 =)

If you had a week to practice on the sim that might be a different story, but that's not really what I was talking about. I was talking at the field and letting someone else "help" you with your heli like adjust the tracking or the trim or something. All it does is take a bit of support out of the equation that may or may not be needed.

hopefully that makes more sense now.
