    I have seen big FLOWER POT gimbals like this one

    And I have also seen other gimbals like This...

    And there are the newer style like this

    So my question is, which sticks do you prefer for 3d Flying OR F3c flying and why? I found it makes a BIG difference to how you fly. I prefer a stick end/gimbal similar to the red/orange sticks.

    So tell me your preference?

      I prefer the Blue gimbals oh heli brother.

      The main reason is that they tend to grip to the thumb very well.

      Believe it or not I love sharp gimbals that really grip into your thumbs! The sharper the better! One of the guys at our heli club (steve) actually made me a set of custom ones out of steel so they hold their edge better than the alloy ones.

      Wee wah wee wah wee wah.... here come the terminology police. Y'all talkin' about stick ends here not gimbals. Gimbals are the dual axis thing-a-my-bobbers that the sticks and pots are connected to.

      I was letting it slide as it was pretty obvious from the first post... but initially I thought they were referring to camera gimbles....
