I have noted that many of the Pilots are not using the sticks anymore to fly and just using the there thumb. I was wondering if you could try that out , off the cuff and report your findings on this.

if you look closely at the mechanism where the sticks attach, you'll see it's the type that doesn't present an opportunity to use just your thumb. You will need to find maybe some shorter sticks or nubs to screw in. Anyone know if there is anything like that available anywhere?

I have been doing that recently and I have to say it is a better way to go. I did order the Scotty cine sticks for my RC Pro. I am excited to test them out. Definitely give the no sticks a try, I think you will be pleased with the results.

I can't imagine wanting to do that...too loose an interface for my liking.

I ordered the Cine-sticks and have tried them a few times. I think I like them - need to fly a bit more with them however. I'll try just thumbing the hubs without sticks this weekend on my M2 and see how that feels.

I don't know if the RC Pro sticks are the same size as the mini 3 but that may be worth a try.

They won't as the threads are reversed.
