I'm fully aware of flight modes and i use them on all my helis (for throttle/pitch curves) but on the jets i haven't found a need for them. i don't use flaps on every gear down situation as well as i don't want gear down just because flaps are down. as far as expo/dual rates i have those built into my fingers and i don't use them from the radio. i took about 10 yrs off of flying jets and flew helis exclusively during that time so I'm fully aware of where every switch is on my TX and i don't have to think twice about flipping one so for me it's much easier to have what i want when i want it at a switch rather then having to mix this and that to lighten the pilot load.

Oh and i do occasionally check the throttle to make sure it still functions proportionally.
