Apparently this is a source of debate under RC helicopter pilots. (I do not fly çopters myself)
Some are "throttle oriented" - push to go up, others are "collective oriented" - pull for up.
So both seem to exist. And then there are 3D pilots (zero pitch in the middle).. :-)
Not really...
It has never been a debate... All helicopter in 2D have Throttle and collective push=up and pull=down
I know that you don't fly helicopters, otherwise we wouldn't have this conversation in the first place..
The only difference in 3D is that the throttle is always around 80-100% while the collective still goes from negative to positive and Zero pitch is achieved and required to be when the stick is in the centre.
When in 2D the centre stick is normally hovering (positive pitch and about 60% throttle)...
When in 3D the centre stick is throttle 80% and pitch at 0 degrees...
We also have autorotation where the throttle stay at zero and the pitch goes again like in 2D but with higher degrees...
Been the same for the past 40 years... Plenty of books and video if you wish to learn. If you like flying drones, you will definitely love flying helicopters....
Like I said, I think DJI could very easily implement digital switches to reverse their channel on the radio,
Even cheap $30 radios (especially surface radios) have this function available, so there is no excuse for it...
Not sure if they will as, as it stand, it is setup correctly for flying collective/throttle...
