In the U.S. we fly Mode 2; roll cyclic (aileron) is on the right stick to roll or slide side to side, pitch cyclic (elevator) is also on the right stick to move forward and back, push forward to go forward and pull back to back up, yaw (rudder) is on the left stick to swing the tail back and forth, and throttle is on the left stick.

Engine and pitch are not on the same channel.
