Default Switch or Switchless Inverted

Hello,
I already inverted my heli couple a times, I can do it both on Idle Up mode switchless and done it better on normal mode with inverted switch.
My question is: which method is better to learn further more for my future, switch or switchless?
On my mental calculation, it's more easy to use switch.
Any experience, advice, and theory is appreciated.
Thank you in advance....

My vote: switchless

After a while, your mind just follows the orientation of the body. The switch will prevent that from happening.

i just stay switchless!!! after learning that way you don't have to worry about fliping that switch for doing 3d, plus if you flip and then flip back over and forget the switch then that's really gona suck.

GOD BLESS

Go switchless!! That way you'll learn to handle the heli in every way without a bunch of switches!! All pro pilots are switchless, and there's a reason for that!

Imagine flip-flopping around, then stay inverted a little while, then back to normal side up, then some inverted hovering and some more flip-flopping. The switch will be on and off al the time!

There area a lot of features on radios that are not used typically For me the simplest radio is the best, so i prefer to use the JR 652.

My JR X378 has an invert switch, but even the JR manual says it is better to not use it.

Switchless, nothing makes up for a little brain power, well maybe more POWER will.

They are NOT experts or they would not recommend switched inverted, you got the same answers on RR and i think you would listen to the majority. switchless is the way to go. Ron

I am beginer pilot and i dont know what you guys are talking about , switch , switchles. But i would like to understand it. Dont i need to flip a switch to go inverted and stay inverted. On my G2 flight sim i hit the idle up switch to stay inverted and really just always leave it on. What switch are you guys talking about. I'm think im ready to go inverted for the first time, but after reading this i dont think i am anymore cause i have no idead what you are talking about. Someone please explain to me thnx, rozzi

Go Rozzi!

I did my forst low hovering this weekend. I chopped the heads off some tall grass! a littel nerve racking, but a heck of a lot of fun.

The switch he is talking about, inverts the aieleron and elevator servo directions. you do need idle up.
