[NSRCA-discussion] Mode 1

[mike mueller]

 Mr Park is correct. Mode 1 planes and Mode2 Heli. I flew Mode 1 all my life just like a lot of guys who came up from old reeds sets. After a long time away from the hobby I tried to fly Mode 2 for a year. Not!!!!! For me it was a wasted year.
 Bob Fortino is a natural Mode 1 flyer. He flys Heli's on Mode 2 and found that the back and forth was so bad that he trained himself to fly Mode 2 on planes. It's taken the better part of 2 years to get back where he was on the plane side.
 Changing Modes is very difficult. I feel confident that Mode1 allows a slight advantage in rolls while Mode2 allows easier rudder corrections. 6 of 1 half dozen of another.  Still it's fun to fly once in a while on another Mode. Keeps you on your toes.               Mike

Stu,
 
I fly Mode 1 for airplane. Learned to fly Mode 1 since 1982.
Started flying heli about 5 years ago with a lot of crashes in Mode 1. 
Switched to Mode 2 for Heli, so far so good.  I just need to be careful of the throttle stick location and carry 2 transmitters whenever flying both.
 
Whenever people ask me, I tell them that I think having rudder/elevator grouped together so Mode 1 is easier for airplane.  heli has aileron/elevator grouped together, so Mode 2.
That is just my way and feel comfortable.

We have had discussions of mode 1 vs 2 and this is not meant to renew them.  But, I have always wanted to try mode 1 and just happened to have a radio that I bought that was in mode 1, thanks Mike.  Trying it on the sim was interesting to say the least.  This near 50 year old is not going to try to make the switch.  I can see where some maneuvers like rolls are made for mode 1 though.

I think it could be a lot of fun to get a group of mode 2 fliers and have them all try to fly mode 1 (on a sim)  You wouldn't even need the beer.  Very impressive for those that can switch back and forth between modes.  And a friend said he doesn't fly helis because the inputs sometimes get mixed up when he flies planes :)
