Not a lot of detail in the manual but on page 14 of my manual, there is a chart showing the receiver channels and their typical use on the helicopter. I have the R149 as well, if you plug your 5 servos (assuming a gyro) in to the first 5 channels of the rx as outlined in this chart, they should be in the right place, lots of other stuff to do after that. I'm a newbie myself and found the manual a bit lacking in the basics.
