[NSRCA-discussion] Mode 3 Futaba Jr Q?

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

Well, if you were to travel with us () you would know that Mr Kimbro is changing his ways.. He uses a stick now.. As for the mode, I'm told it's mode Kimbro..

  There must be something about the Canadian air or being cooped up all
winter or something like that which makes the Canadians use those
weird modes.  I think it was Ivan Kristensen who started it years ago
by using something like "Reverse Mode 1".
