Lol, I know I am the exception here and not the rule, that is what makes me special
Yeah, most of the tankers are happy with the self centering throttle, but why I preffer the non returning spring?
-Because I use the same radio for everything, including warbirds and a "what if 1951" diabolic robotic machine I am building.
-Because sometimes while driving the tank I need to have a free hand (for example, if an egg starts to itch or if a wasp attacks me) The Blitzkrieg cannot be stopped under any circumstance!
-Because I spend the life triying different mixes, trims, curves and so on in the radio, and I want to adjust them on the fly, while the tank is rolling.
-Because I have an attached phone in the radio, and sometimes I need a free hand to click on the screen to take pics or videos. Or maybe becaue I am messing with the Elmod app for configuring the tank.
-Because in some vehicles I have programmed some kind of complex driving, where the lower point is 0 throttle, and full up is 33% throttle. Then I have to change the gears manually for reaching the other 66% and 100% thottle and of course reverse. Yep, a tad complicated to program, but the hell of fun to drive, super realistic and smooth control. Keep in mind most of the tankers have half the movement of the stick up for driving from 0 to full throttle. I have 3 complete stick movements for that, so go and figure how precise it is. (I have videos of that, I can show them if somebody is interested. It can be done with ALL electronics, including 2 euros ESCs)
-And also because the radio came like that from the factory, and even when my radio is 90% scratchbuilt by me, I just did not bother to put the spring on it. Now I guess is too late.
But yeah, I know that is just me, I am the rare guy here, lol.
