Default which stick is supposed to do what?

Hello:
I bought a used smarttech skylark, so it was already assembled, but I am confused about the function of each stick in the control, I think it may be wrong.
Right now, the right stick controls throttle (up and down) and lateral inclination of swash plate (left/right)
The left stick controls tail rotor (right and left) and forward/backward on the swash plate.
From real helis I know the swash plate should all be controlled by one stick.
Which is the normal convention? I've been told that the throttle and tail rotor control are usually on the left, and the swash plate on the right. is that true? if so, how do I fix my control/heli to reflect those control settings?
