I voted for thumbs, though I start to pinch the sticks a little when it is cold...which is not often where I fly mostly. I have tried both ways and just sort of gravitate back to thumbing the sticks.

And I must apologize. I feel that my reading into the wording may have made some of the boys here uncomfortable...and would never want that to happen! Wink BTW, I have a bushel of apples...

Okay, I was flying The Rover, which is maneuverable as sort of an afterthought...decided to try pinching the sticks. Hmmm, it feels like maybe I had a little better control during slow flight where I was navigating around obstacles.

Flying The Japalura, thumbs all the way! Much nimbler with higher thrust to weight ratio and smaller size. I am just not that quick when flying with the sticks pinched.

So...maybe there should be one more option of "Both styles depending on type of flying."?

Pincher. I also use a transmitter tray which makes pinching easier.

Playstation generation here, so im a thumber Smile

Recently I let my dad test my quad, he was an airplane and helicopter pilot back in the days and he immediately started to pinch the sticks..

Question is if you are a thumber or pincher depending on your age?
