What are transmitter modes?
There are two common ways of allocating the four standard aircraft controls to the sticks on your transmitter: Mode one is elevator(up/down) and rudder(left/right) on the left stick and throttle (up/down) and ailerons (left/right) on the right stick. A two channel slope soarer uses elevator and ailerons, and on a standard two channel transmitter like the Hitec 2Z this corresponds to mode one. Generally speaking, this mode is used in NZ and Australia. Mode two is Ailerons & Elevator on the right, Throttle & Rudder on the left. Most common in Britain and US. The three channel Focus 3 is sort of 3/4 Mode two.
