Darticus -

The thinking behind the Mode 2 assignments is to always keep the main "turning" controls on the right stick. With a 3-channel plane, that's rudder and elevator. With a 4-channel plane that's ailerons and elevator. This is designed to actually make the transition from 3 to 4 channels easier, since you'll always do your turning with the right stick.
