Okay, this may be a dumb question, and ultimately, it may come down to personal preferences, but do most of you sit or stand while flying?
The reason I ask is that at the AMA club I belong to, and where they coerced me into investing in the FPV-Quad area (yeah, let's go with that ), almost every pilot was sitting down, and when talking to them, they said you want to be sitting while flying otherwise you might get dizzy or disoriented. So from the beginning I was always sitting. I also notice that when watching the DRL or any other organized FPV race, they are all sitting.
However, when I watch freestyle videos such as those from Rotor Riot, they all stand when flying. I have tried standing and do not have a major problem with it, but it's not as comfortable as sitting. I guess I'm wondering if there's an advantage to one method over the other.
Ironically, when I'm flying my planes LOS, I can't sit, I have to stand!
Thanks!
Bob
