RE: Mode 1 vs. Mode 2

HI,I started mode 0.5 Control line Ha. Then during high school I started learning
RC mode 2 with the help of the club and a buddy cord. Well, after years of burning up
the sky's with many RC planes, I decided to sell them all and build a ultralight. It was the
KOLB Mark III. I started flying with an instructor and found that this was the very same as
the RC's. The rudder was the only thing I had to move and that was no problem. If you can
fly a RC mode 2, you can fly a GA trainer or ultralight with very little instruction. You will have
your license in the min. 40 hrs. Now the ground school is another story. Get the tapes and start
that now. It will help you in RC very much. Then you can go get your GA ticket super fast,, provided
you have become a Good RC pilot. I flew GA for 350hrs and then got back into RC very heavy.
No problem at all. Mode 2 is my choice if you want a GA ticket fast.
