Yah I had swapped it off while messing with other settings (think I tried setting up turtle mode on a switch but also messed with air mode at the same time... also I messed up the power switch on my DX6i somehow trying to use it to switch off connection from a lipo to boost converter to make the thing rechargeable, long story short that was probably a bad idea). Anyway yah to your point it does just feel different in general.Yeah I've got two quads I fly with air mode not on, just acro. Although you don't have control at zero throttle it still adds a different "feeling" to the flight where I'm used to air mode being on usually. It really makes a difference when the wind is blowing.
