Reversing up and down inputs on the controller.

I have an air 3s with the standard controller. I find it odd (as a actual pilot) that it seems that unlike other control options that can be changed I am unable to switch the up and down controls to match what they would be in a actual airplane (pull back to ascend and forward to descend).

I have a terrible time becoming proficient with my drone as I keep going the wrong way (and quite frankly it is dangerous for me to learn the other way in case it transfers over to real flying).

Does anyone know why this is not a option, or am I missing something?

Its not up and down its actually your throttle and while kind of not intuitive while flying in a "mode" I promise if you keep flying and decide to fly manually you will be glad you left it the way it is.
 
I had a similar concern when I started flying drones. (I remember thinking "Push up." as a reminder when I wanted the drone to climb.) But it soon dissipated.

I don't think there's much chance of the drone control action transferring into the cockpit.
 
Why is it not a option to change it unlike the other stick options? Seems like a easy fix, just give us the option.
