Clockwise or Anti-Clockwise circuits

[krikey]

Myself and CurryKitten were wondering if there was any pattern to whether people prefer clockwise or anti clockwise flight circuits and whether this had any bearing on what mode your radio was set up.

Both myself and CK seem to prefer Anti-Clockwise circuits and find ourselves doing these automatically on most occasions. We both have Mode 2 radios.

Also if you are a stick pincher or a thumb wrangler!

[Coyote]

Anti clockwise mode 2 pincher

[CurryKitten]

Oh, and aside from the mode your radio is in please mention if you fly pinch... else we'll assume you are a thumber

[Ratty]

We make sure to practice both.

I do find it easier to yaw left and roll right tho. As that is pulling the stick outwards so it feels easier. (mode 2)

[FPVSteve]

Anti-clockwise, mode 2, thumber.

[markwilliams]

Same as Steve.

Anti-clockwise, mode 2 and thumber.

When I'm out on my bike I am much happier on left handers as well. Is it a left or right handed thing?

Mark.

 Isn't everyone a habitual left turner?  :laugh:  I tend to make left hand circuits but right is really no more tricky  :laugh:

Mode 2 and thumbs all the way, tried pinching and despite what others tell me, it feels a lot less under control than with thumbs lol  :D

[marcin]

I'm the only one I go clockwise circle mode2 thumbs, mayby because I use left hand mostly for everything ?

I'm pretty sure is up to left or right handed people difference, not mode in TX.

[FPVSteve]

FWIW I'm left-handed when I write, right handed for everything else (throwing, cutting, bitchslapping etc)

[Dillwhacker]

Same here - Thumbs and naturally left handed circuits. Mode 2.
Same on a motorbike - much happier cranking it over on left handers.
Sometimes thought it might be because my first models were control line...

[Jake Bullit]

Dress to the left, anti clock,thumbs  :)

[wgt40w]

Anti-clockwise, mode 2, thumber.

+ another.

[luvbus]

Only consistent thing for me is mode 2.

I seem to jump about thumbing & pinching depending on what I'm flying, how I picked up the transmitter or if sitting down.

Do you not think the circuit thing is down to flying clubs always going anticlockwise? Sloping is where I started flying so didn't fly circuits till much later....

Think you do need to make a conscious effort to practice manoeuvres both ways or you find you end up locked into one direction on the sticks.

[FPVSteve]

To be honest it's not just LoS flying for me - I feel more comfortable turning left while in the goggles as well for some bizarre reason!

I'm same there with the left handed for writing, right for most other stuff, although I can write with both hands.

In goggles left or right turns are the same to me.
Los clockwise circuits, mode 2, pinch.
