The Mode Survey - what do you fly?


Recommended Posts

Advert


1. Mode 2.
2. West Wales (Pembrokeshire). 
3. Midlands (Delta Hawks Model Flying Club) in 1983
4. Instructor (Simon Brenchly of "Orion Airways") a tough but fair teacher, he taught me take offs & landings in one hour. I use his methods with others, they are clear, concise and easy to follow.

Mode 3, which is uncommon for the Netherlands.
Nowadays I fly in the middle of Holland (Gelderland), but I learnt it more to the south (Noord Brabant).
 
I learnt flying using this mode from my dad.

Hello All,
 
Reading through these stats, it might be interesting also to find out how many self taught pilots have learned their skills mainly (or purely) from flight simulators. When I learned to fly in 1983 (no tests then) no such thing existed, but there are at least 2 in our club that I am aware of, who learned that way. Also, I would have struggled with my 'B' test without one.
 
Just a thought.

Mode 2 was how the ARTF instructions said it should be. Who was i to argue ?
 Just read DB sport & scale post, i did spend a lot of time on a pheonix sim, and dont think i could have done it without it, excellent learning tool.

I live in Hampshire and fly mode 2.
 
I was self taught on the slopes when living in Scotland and started on mode 1 but changed to mode 2 because I wanted to help with my club's training scheme which was mode 2 based.
 
I crashed more models changing from 1 to 2 than I did learning in the first place!
 
I started flying RC in 1969, not too many simulators available then.  Thought my full-size experience would help, how wrong I was!
