RE: Mode 1 vs. Mode 2
Oh, and although I have no real interest in flying R/C helicopters, when I do fly one in my Real Flight G-3.5 simulator, I fly them Mode One! My Mode One instincts tell me pitch is controlled with my left thumb, so this is correct and natural to me. I have talked to other people who fly fixed wing, Mode One and helicopters Mode Two. I also know people who can fly fixed wing airplanes either mode, so anything is possible and it truly is only about what you've learned!
