  • Thumb or finger and thumb?

    I've learned to fly on my sim with just thumbs - feels natural to me. I see some people though say thumb and finger gives greater control. So I've had a go and yes - maybe - (not enough skill yet to tell!)

    Just wandered what you guys do or what your views are?

    I voted thumbs - but its a balance at times. Depending on what I'm doing.

      As a very experienced flyer on here told me - it's whatever you are comfortable with. I can't use fingers & thumbs to save my life!

        I was taught to fly planks with thumb and finger. Just continued with the same method when I got into heli's.
