Hello,
I'm not having luck finding a product that I saw awhile ago. They are aftermarket levers that screw on top in place of the stock ones. They are fatter than the stock ones and are concaved in the middle. I fly with my thumbs and the small surface area on my 6exh remote levers is bothering me especially now that it's getting cold. If someone could link me I'd appreciate it! Or if someone has a better option for a thumb flyer I'd like to hear it.

Yep that would be it! I also just saw an add on the Freak home page :oops:. My overpriced HughesNet loads so slow I usually skip down the page and don't even read the ad's.
Thanks!

I would like to expand this post to get a consensus as to whether thumbs or 2 finger control is better. I recently viewed a great 3D flyer using his thumb and index finger to control the sticks. And a few months ago, I even watched a 5 year old prodigy on YOUTUBE doing the same but thought it was only a "kid thing"? I have yet to get a mindset on either as I am new to the TX "feeling-it-out sort of thing" Will learning the 2-finger way be better for me in the long-run? I have noticed that thumbing-it leads to too much cyclic over-compensation (a brain thing I suppose?)

I am also at the point of asking myself if i start learning the 2 fingers method... I have been flying only for about 2 months (sim and real) and have been using only my thumbs so far. I don't yet feel that i would have more control with the 2F method but all 3D pilots i've seen seem to use this method. Should i break my thumb habit before its too late? The tries i've given to the 2F method were not very convincing!!! It gave more trouble than anything else!!!!
