<DIV>There is a better way to avoid the Ail/Ele mixing...switch to mode
1!!!!</DIV>
<DIV>I flew mode 2 for 7 years, then switched...Best move I ever made. Mode 1 is
just a natural for pattern, and pylon, but it will not work for helis.</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>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. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
