| When I first started practicing on the G3, I was using 2 fingers, but I found myself using 3 when flying my Cal 30. Don't know why, but I was just doing it. After playing with the radio on the sim and my Futaba, I found that with 3 I was limiting my movement. If I had to make large control inputs, 3 fingers got in the way. Although it felt comfortable, I made an effort just to fly with 2 fingers. It's helpled out a lot in my flying!!
While flying planks, I always used thumbs. I honestly don't ever remember even trying to fly when pinching (2 fingers). With heli's, it just makes more sence to me to pinch. You have to be so much more precise, so 2 fingers worth of input is better than one, plus you have counted out the accidental thumb sliding off the control deal, which I have done many times while flying a plank!
Mess around with your sim (if you have one) and find what's more comfortable for you. If you don't have a sim, trust me when I say spend the money on one, as it will save you more money than you can imagine!!!!!
Hope this helps!
