I agree with your uncle. There are two major settings, mode-1 and mode-2.
Basically on mode-1 they put the throttle to the left stick and the elevator
to the right, while in mode-2 it is the other way around. Usually here in
Europe they prefer mode-1 and in the US mode-2. For some reason, however, I
got used to the mode-2 settings (I think because the first remote I had was
an imported one) and I can't fly with the European one -- if you mix
controls for a split of a second then you are done.

Anyway, I might try to build this Mikrocopter as it looks very interesting
:-)

Thanks
