Mode

Also known as Flight Mode or Stick Mode, this refers to the transmitter's gimbal stick assignments (locations) which determine the flight mode of your controller. There are two main modes of control, Mode 1- mostly used in Europe and Mode 2 which is the predominant method of controlling aircraft commonly used in the United States. 

Mode 1

A controller which is designated as Mode 1 means that it contains the throttle and aileron on the right stick (gimbal). The left stick will, therefore, control the elevator and rudder.

Mode 2

A controller which is designated as Mode 2 will have the left stick, or gimbal, controlling the throttle and the rudder. Conversely, the right stick will control the elevator and the ailerons.

Mode 3

A controller which is designated as Mode 3 might also be known as a 'left-handed' Mode 2. The gimbal stick assignments are the same as a Mode 2 transmitter, however, they are on the opposite sides. That is, the left stick will control the elevator and the ailerons. The right stick is used for the throttle and the rudder.
