whoa, lol, thats a lot of fixing. let me try to help out.
there is no documentation, not that we have seen from 4 walkera products. in fact, you are luck to have gotten a manual in english!
hobbyjapan STINKS!!!! i would strongly advise that you not order from them. try helihobby instead, we have had pretty good luck with them
so far.
if your radio is same as ours, and i suspect it is, the switch at the top right is your 3d switch. you will want that in the up position. the pots serve no purpose that we have found so far. this is the same as the 22a, any purpose of those pots is a mystery to us.
we STRONGLY recommend that you go over the heli first, and this applies to any heli, any manufacturer. Look for loose screws/wires, check radio, etc.
update for all as to who "we" are. we are contemplating starting a business. it would be comprised of myself, my brother in law, and a friend of ours. i am a full scale pilot with little RC experience. My brother in law has a lot more common sense than me, and our friend has a ton of RC experience, although not with helis.
In our short sojourn with electric helis we have amassed a fleet of six helicopters, 4 of which are walkera products.
we have quite a lot of practice with repair and parts aquisition, not by intent, lol.
while so far, we stand behind walkera, that may change soon. hobbyjapan2000 is NOT recommended by any means, and walkera is working themselves into that range.
given the state of expansion of the hobby, and how much fun it is, and how poor almost all customer support is-we think of starting our own company. we wish to stock parts and advice and provide customer service, which is SORELY lacking. since we are not rich, we will probably have to endorse only one make of heli. though we have substantial experience with the walkeras, it seems probable that we will not be able to give our endorsement to them.
email haudy@haudy.com at walkera with your thoughts, as they have declined to respond to us.
for all of your help and support (even yours, chronus!) many thanks, and we will continue to try to help.
in return, i would like to ask you of your thoughts regarding our possible business venture.
PS: i receive 5 to 10 emails daily regarding the 35, my "copilot' gets around 10 a day. we plan soon to start our venture under the name "helighost.com"-it will greatly simplify our ability to go over requests and reviews, and also allow us to pool our knowledge much better than with the current system.
it is with great chagrin (tho no shame) that i can no longer recommend walkera products. we are now left to salvage the messes we paid for. its a fine enough heli, when you get it to work, however, that is a steep hill to climb. your thoughts on this are both welcomed as well as solicited. please leave the "its crap" comments out, only constructive comments are listened to. the rest we have a good laugh at.

as far as the switches on the back of the transmitter. if they are the same as mine they are servo reversing switches. if the one for your throttle is in the wrong position and you plug the 
) Plug the heli in and leave it for five minutes, this will allow the gyro to get its bearings, and to come up to temprature, the solid state gyros are sensitive to temprature. By doing this yoiu will find the heli head holds far better!!
