From thumbs to pinching - First flight and thoughts.

24,203 Views · Posted 8 years ago
So as someone with zero background in RC, when i started FPV the only experience i had holding any kind of controller was from games, naturally i went straight to using my thumbs to fly. Its been fine all this time, but iv often wondered what pinching was like as it seemed logical it would give a bit more control. So especially after seeing the rotor riot episode discussing the topic (linked below) I decided to give it a go, here are my first 2 flights showing how it went, with audio of my thoughts as im flying. I hope it is interesting to some of you :)
