Hello Tedmno
I haven't made my choice. The purpose of my post was to get somebody to talk me out of taking the mode 1 route (ev en though it seems more logical). You just might do that.

Do you fly full scale planes? Whether you do or not, I'm not trying to punk you out by asking that question. What I really want to know is; If i fly rc planes on mode 1, will that screw up orientationwise if I try full scale flight training.

Thank you very much, Ed Brown
