Default Thumbs poll

Just out of curiousity, I wanted to see how many of you guys fly with thumbs, or the other way...thumb and forefinger. Personally I fly thumb and forefinger, I've tried to just thumb it and I'm all over the sky lol

Default Re: Thumbs poll

I do both, but mostly do my thumbs.. i'm trying to switch though because my thumbs are double jointed.. so it's all smoother with thumb and finger.

Default Re: Thumbs poll

Try writing with a pen in nice neat script controling it just with your thumb. Now try it with your thumb and fore finger. Much more precise control...at least that's the way it works best for me. Just my take on the topic.
