Default RE: newbie

sorry i forgot to comment about the transmitter,


the 3d switch should be pused farthest away from you when you first start off, and if your learning dont even bother touching it , what the 3d switch does is basically bring up the idle to between 60 and 100% and when you move the throttle up and down it changes the pitch of the blades, if you go below halfway on the stick the blades push air out the top of the helicopter ( allowing the heli to fly upside down) and when you push the stick above halfway it gives the blades positive pitch and blows air downward ( the normal way) You will only be using this 3d switch when your flying skills have been honed and you want to try acrobatic maneuvers, but for basic hovering/ forward flight etc you do not need it.


My transmitter buttons are also mixed, i think 2 of them are up and two of them are down , this is normal.
