[FuturaSE]

>>> Im using both thumbs and pointing fingers (the other 6 fingers are ready to use the switches but my flying skills are not yet)

feels like most are using only thumbs

It is on personal taste. I fly thumbs only. I tried to pinch but i just don't feel comfortable. Also if its fine to Tareq it will be fine for me too.

I use my thumbs, it feels much more natural too me (too many hours wasted playing playstation).

What I would really like to see (which I'm sure a lot would find blasphemy) is if transmitters in the future had the sticks much more like the sticks you find on playstation and Xbox controllers. It will never happen for so many reasons, but I think for people that use their thumbs it would make the transmitters so much more ergonomic. I'm pretty sure I saw a video once of members of the armed forces (I want to say marines but I'm not 100%) flying drones in the field with Xbox 360 controllers and if it's good enough for them its got to be good enough for us

8 fingers on each hand explains a lot...

I fly using my penis,
I have a specially adapted transmitter, similar to Curtis Youngblood's but with a cup shape on the top.
The heli is flown using a "shagging the transmitter" motion.
It takes 550ml nitro fuel and half a Viagra per flight.

I use a pinch between my little finger and the one next to it, but use my left hand on the right stick and the right hand on the left stick

lol I use thumbs on the sticks and spare fingers on the switches, I keep a finger under the throttle hold switch ready for tail failure/pilot errors/etc
