    Does the Mode choice have anything to do with Normal or Expert Mode?
    How do you change from Mode 1 to Mode 2 or vice versa?

    Thanks,

    Mode 1 and 2 are usually about the stick layout.
    "A Mode 2 RC transmitter controls the aileron (roll) and elevator (pitch) with the right hand, while the rudder (yaw) and throttle are controlled by the pilot’s left hand."
    "Mode 1 moves the throttle function to the right stick and the elevator control to the left stick"

    Most US stuff is Mode 2, while in Australia and some other places they prefer mode 1...

    Modes such as SAFE, Normal, Expert are simply parameters built into certain models or radios which limit certain functions such as how steep you can angle the craft, etc. (control curves, etc.).
