Sometimes I fly good and sometimes I fly bad (especially Mode 1, being a
Mode 2 pilot), but I always fly with my thumbs, like my brother. But
both my Dad and Grandfather fly-by-pinch. It's what is most comfortable
to you as the pilot.

	Uh, ask Jason how he flies. There is no "right" or "wrong" way.
Whatever works for you is the best. Really.

		Jim,
		 
		Regarding using thumbs and neckstraps/trays, I tried to
get my son to use the pinch method (thumb/forefinger) but he said he
felt more comfortable with just thumbs. He does use a neckstrap, though.
		 
		I do know someone that won Masters class at the Nats a
few years back that flew with just thumbs and no strap/tray. WHAT A
HEATHEN!!!  :-)

changed. I think most would agree that we have better control using the
'Thumb and Forefinger' method with a neck strap or a transmitter tray.
The problem most of us thumb flyers have is leaning on the aileron a
little when pulling or pushing elevator. Even with extra stiff springs
from Radio South I still experience some mixing of control functions. I
should probably change but it is hard for old dogs to learn new tricks.
As John recommended wings level is of primary importance and we don't
want to disturb that inadvertently with unwanted aileron input when
applying elevator.
