Hey guys,
I have been in the RC community for several years now and I just cannot understand why people fly Mode 1. To me Mode 2 just seems so much more intuitive and simply superior in terms of control, accuracy and learning curve.
Lets face it Elevator and Ailerons in a plane/quad are practically the same thing and behave in roughly the same way just on different Axis, while rudder and throttle are completely different and will do a variety of different things in different ways depending on what the other control parameters are doing is doing.
Frankly even Mode 3 (Left stick: Elevator and Aileron, Right stick: throttle and rudder) seems more intuitive to me because I can sort of understand the appeal for left handed people who want the extra control in the Ailerons and Elevators for their left hand.
Honestly I get quite annoyed when looking for a new radio like a Taranis which is fairly popular and the Mode 2 radios are sold out while there are plenty of Mode 1 radios, I honestly think the RC community could really do with some standardisation.
What do you guys think?
