I did

 

Marco swapped to mode 2 and you can still see the control seperation skills he learnt flying mode 1

 

Me to I wanted a challenge mode 2 looked way to easy. Lol

 

I coundnt fly mode 2 for the life of me I grabed me mates mode 1 and it clicked straight away

 

I knew id get a nibble.

Your 100% right @Radar
I lean on the tail bad in tictocs.

I fly mode 1 cause its what I learnt on.
There is no point in anyone changing modes they are better off sticking to what they already have the muscle memory for

 

True @Radar - but it makes a good forum topic and MODE 2 RULES! (lol) Now please guys enlighten me. When i talk to other pilots - not all - but many mode 1 pilots secretly tell me they wish they learned using mode 2 instead. Cmon, step out of the closet and admit this for me! @feral you are a unique and special individual! This is the first pilot i have ever heard of changing from mode 2 to mode 1 and i want to put it out there... Has anyone else done this? Why did I switch from mode 1 to mode 2? A couple of reasons.. I was doing well with mode1 but do you think i could find tutorials? NO WAY it was all mode 2 (back a couple of years now) . I was also used to a flight sim and i believed the feel of Mode 2 it was more intuitive. Was it hard to change? Hell Yes incredibly hard - but by selling my soul to Crash Heligod it all became possible! It felt like i had to learn all over again. Would I change back to mode 1? If it made me fly like Dunkan - Yep! Do i think it would make me fly like Dunkan? Nope. So Im staying mode 2!

 

Im talking the first month I was trying to teach myself how to fly it was only me and a mate in a cow paddock with no frikken idea his plank came mode 1 mine came mode 2 as soon as my plank got up it would snaproll into the deck while he was flying sweet.
He eventualy gave me a crack on his and I was up straight away.
I ditched my cheap radio and went down and got a mode 1 dx5e the next day

 

Ahhh so you were not flying a heli first @feral ....interesting. I was told by a local hobby shop that mode 1 was the way to go. I just followed his advice. He was also a planker.

 

I went mode 1 as the hobby shop said they couldn't help me if I went mode two...

Now it's too late... but mode one works well

I fly mode 1, @simon helped me get started..... I took his advise he said "sure fly mode 2 but make sure you wear your pink dress out to the club"

 

LOL... Funny Andrew... Now I want to ask ... How many Mode 1 Pilots WISHED they were Mode 2? Comon speak up! Also say if you are completely satisfied with Mode 1? The same applies to Mode 2. How many Mode 2 Pilots are completely satisfied with Mode 2 and how many want to change? This is just to put some numbers on @Radar thoughts.

 

I used to fly mode 1 and tried mode 3... was okay but took alot of practice, decided mode 1 was for me

 

As you have guessed from @Andrew R 's post, I am mode 1. I have thought about mode 2, but it's swings and roundabouts really, some tricks are easier mode 1, and some easier mode 2, simple as that. I'll be mode 1 forever, can't teach an old dumb dog new tricks

Simon

 

Hah, I moved from Mode 3 to Mode 1 after a short while. Didn't help that the sim was mode 3 & the heli was mode 1 of course......

Aha yeah, that makes sense! mode 1 I just didnt have to think but mode 3 I did suppose it's an "internal wiring"kinda of thing

 

Just go with what makes sense to you...

but I'll admit from years of gaming mode 2 made more sense... but I wanted the support... which I never used.... so yeah...

 

Aha see when I am gaming I changed all my controls to the mode 1 style lol!

 

I love games me and my dad had this mad game called cracker run.
We'd time how long it took us to get to canberra to buy bungers then try and beat the time on the way back
