Controls
The controls are fairly basic. I learned to get used to them right away and I taught my buddy to fly my Blade mCX in just a few minutes. There are 4 different control modes that are used in different countries. In North America we primarily will use the Mode 2 setup. The 3 main parts to the controls are cyclic, yaw, and throttle. Throttle is controlling the speed that the blades spin. Cyclic is what makes the heli lean and fly to the left and right, or forwards and backwards. Yaw is when the nose of the heli spins in a circle left or right.
Mode 1 RC Heli Transmitter
On a mode 1 RC helicopter radio transmitter, the left stick controls fore and aft cyclic and left / right yaw, and the right stick controls the throttle and left / right cyclic.
Mode 2 RC Heli Transmitter
On a mode 2 RC helicopter radio transmitter, the left stick controls the throttle and left / right yaw, and the right stick controls the fore / aft cyclic and left / right cyclic.
Mode 3 RC Heli Tansmitter
Mode 4 RC Heli Transmitter
On a mode 4 RC helicopter transmitter, the left stick controls the throttle and left/right cyclic, and the right stick controls the fore/aft cyclic and left/right yaw.
