Tips on learning transmitters of different modes (mode 1,2)

[Gigglingbuns]

Well, I ordered a quad with the wrong transmitter mode that I usually order, it was on my side, I could've send it back, instead I used this as an opportunity to build muscle memory for mode 1 so I feel comfortable flying mode 1 as I do mode 2. How would I go about this? Would it be like applying everything I know from mode 2 to mode 1, and practice from there or?

I would try a sim first, however if you wish to convert it over to mode 2 it is likely not too hard with either hardware or maybe some hardware and software changes.


What type of transmitter are we talking about?


If you really want to learn mode 1 I'd suggest trying a sim or if you have any toy quads with mode 1 that would be ideal as they aren't heavy enough to break everything on smaller crashes.

Well I recently bought a mode 1 quad the eachine h8 mini which I will use a test monkey. I'm thinking of it being just a skill I want to master, I do plan on mainly sticking with mode 2 though. I interested though in things I can do like should I attempt a circuit around my house or something, or are there other excersises?

"Walking the dog" is a common exerciese for new pilots which pretty much involves following your quad while you fly. I suppose it might help with this hahahaha

Going back and forth between modes will keep you from ever developing the proper muscle memory.

Well a recent malfunction left the quad on a roof on wednesday, I have to say though I was doing pretty well with the walking the dog, I also managed to do some nice loose figure 8's.

I have friends at my local club who do fine with both modes, they even got into some racing and surprisingly they did well. I believe it's possible but sort of difficult. I haven't touched an old mode 2 quad for a while. Due to the fact that it needs some repairing but, I'm procrastinating on the repairing.
