Hello, I want to know how you guys hold your controller.
Using 2 thumbs? or the 4 fingers style?

I get the best results when I manipulate her with three fingers. :YeaBaby:

I am trying to learn to hold it like this it gives you the oppurtunity to change idlle up and throttle hold without tryng to find it. It might feel akward at first but in the long run you will be ready for stunt mode and throttle hold without a lot of finger movement.. I am basically holding with my little finger and palm. It really only takes a little time for this to feel comfortable.

I'ts completely a matter of personal preference! I fly with thumbs only and have no plans on changing. There are pro's that fly thumbs and pro's that fly pinch and pro's that fly a hybrid of the two.
Fly what you feel comfortable with.

Some will say pinch gives finer control. I thumb, but if I was just starting out, I would start with pinch. Just my humble opinion.

I just switched from thumbs to pinching yesterday, and I really like it a lot, I don't have as much control as I did but I can tell it's there, I just need to get comfortable with it. It wasn't all that big a deal for me to change as I've only been flying for about 2 months. I think trying each for a week and then doing what feels best for you is a good idea.

Go with what's comfortable to you. I use thumbs only (have dabbled with the pinch from time to time) and I have progressed VERY fast.
