I'm new when it comes to RC planes, been doing RC cars a long time however. So after some research and with help from this site I settled on a Turnigy 9X which I've already installed a Frsky DIY kit and with be adding er9x firmware soon.
Now since HK only had mode 1 9X's in stock at the time thats what I got, and now I know its quite simple to switch it over to mode 2 but I actually quite like have the throttle on the right. It makes sense being right handed to launch a plane from my right hand while having some control at the same time with my left hand.
AFAIK a proper mode 1 has the ailerons on the same stick as the throttle, that doesn't feel right to me, so I intend to use elevator/aileron on left stick and throttle/rudder on right stick... this is mode 3 i think. It seems hardly anyone uses that mode...? I am just being weird or just confused and making things difficult for myself? Will my kid be ridiculed in later life if my bad mode 3 habits are passed down to him?
