3D SWITCH

Raise the throttle stick to half (heli on the ground). Flip the 3D switch towards you. Half throttle becomes zero pitch, and a little over half power (RPM's). Now when you move the throttle stick down, you get negative pitch (for inverted flight) and increasing power. When you move the throttle stick up from half, you get positive pitch (for normal flight) and increasing power. Normal flight can be done with the 3D switch in 3d mode. But, if you panic and slam the throttle to zero, the heli will go to full negative pitch and full throttle.

NORMAL TO INVERTED FLIGHT - 3D Switch in 3D mode (do Not flip switch in flight)

While in fast foreward flight, pull back on the cyclic stick (elevator). This will start a loop. When the heli reaches the top of the loop (it will be inverted), pull the throttle stick towards zero (negative pitch plus power). Now the heli is in inverted flight. While inverted, to get the heli to go up, the throttle stick must be moved down (closer to zero).

To return to normal flight, repeat the half loop. This time moving the throttle stick from below half to above half at the top of the loop.
