mode 1 vs mode 2

[Greywolf74]

whats the difference and which one do I need/want?

 

[rcnut14]

the difference is where the controls are. mode 2 is standard for the u.s. heres a diagram

its the same for a helicopter

 

[Rolex]

That is correct. Mode 2 for U.S.A.

 

[rcnut14]

of course it correct

I fly helis and planes, so I'm familer with that stuff

A new hobby shop opened here several years ago and a customer wanted a demo of the helis they just got in. When I realized everything was wrong I learned about the European mode 1. I refused to fly it because I knew I'd wreck it.

 

[rcnut14]

yeah, I've never flown a mode 1, and I never want to try. I guess that u can't teach an old dog new tricks lol

 

[Greywolf74]

Thanks for the info...didnt want to buy the wrong thing Or maybe I should learn mode 1 and then no one will ever never ask to fly my helis lol

 

[rcnut14]

if uve ever flown before, it will be hard to change.

 

[Greywolf74]

I havent thats why it would be funny if I learned it

 

[Rolex]

I won't fly a heli with mode 1 any more than I'd drive a motorcycle in England.
The first thing you do will be wrong. So will the next thing.

 

[rcnut14]

and the next, and the next, and the next,....

 

[Rolex]

Sorry, if it's a heli on mode 1 or a motorcycle in England, it will be all over before you get to mistake #3.

 

[rcnut14]

oh. then whoops

do u really get snacks?

 

[Rolex]

Sure. Employee's cafeteria. End of the long hall, on the right. You'll need a key and a secret handshake.

 

[Greywolf74]

the secret handshake requires velcro gloves...
