      So Mode 1 and thumbs? Both are thumbs. Well Tareq uses thumbs, are you guys related? I find a combination between thumbs and pinch.... That way when im doing a huricane, i use pinch, but if i am piroflip, normally thumbs.

      Mode 2 and a combination of pinch and thumbs, similar to what Nick Maxwell does

      Here is a good example:

      Mode two here, and I use thumbs. I like hard 3D flying, but I`m nowhere close to being able to do that. Right now, I`m more of an advanced sport/light 3D flyer.

      I find that for some tricks like hurricanes, pinching is awesome. For fast piro type manouvers, thumbs is king!

      Mode 2 and thumb. Not sure why, maybe because I use to play video games a lot back in the day. When I started i got my first heli from ebay and I didn't even know what Mode 1 / 2 was it just came mode 2 lucky.
