<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can you fly either way? I have wished I could
do that but never thought it possible. There are 2 pilots in my area that
fly mode 1 and have Symphony's and I would love to help them trim them but I
figured it was not possible. I was bringing a Sportsman/Intermediate along
for a few years who had moved here from Europe (mode 1) and he decided to switch
to mode 2 so he could get more help locally. He struggled for about 6
months but eventually got it, but I figured I'm too far down the path to
change. Anyway, just curious as to your story and
recommendations.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Jim,</DIV>

<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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!!!

started as a ‘Thumb Flier’ and never 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.
