I'm left handed, but when learning something new I try to 'conform'. It seems to make life easier if you can try and do things the 'standard' way.

Look at this thread on Tx modes: http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...hreadid=734681

It looks like you are referring to Mode 1. You should be able to easily order a radio in this mode, but won't just be able to pick one off the shelf at the LHS. I'm not sure how a buddy box would work either with different modes..
