The Blade CP has a switch on the right-hand side of the controller that toggles it between normal and 3D mode. Normal mode mixes trottle with blade pitch for simple flight. 3D mode runs the motor at full speed and your have only pitch control. Don't use 3D mode to train in -- it's easier to break .. everything that way.

Mode 1 puts throttle/collective pitch in the right hand, I believe, and mode 2 is in the left-hand. The Blade comes with a mode 2 unit and I don't know that it even has the option for mode 1. So you get throttle/col.pitch and rudder in the left hand, and roll/pitch in the right, and the "switch of doom" up in the right corner hehe -- be especially careful not to bump this thing when you set the controller on the ground to perform a minor adjustment on the chopper.. ahem...
