The right stick and left stick which lever controls which thing rudder, elevator, ailerons. Want to make sure it hooked up right. I think for some reason its set up different for a 4 channel than a 3 channel and I don't know why.

The left stick pushing left and right controls the rudder. The right stick pushing up and down controls the elevator and that leaves the right side pushing left and right for the aelerons.

Hope this helps,
Kevin

For some reason, I get the feeling you are off on your own, and not a member of a local RC club? If this is the case, you need to get into a decent club and buy a buddy cord. Being a club member should buy you a instructor who will help you get into the air and solo without destroying a lot of airplanes in the process. Also, read, read, read that radio instruction book, and learn it inside out. Higher end equipment gets much more complicated with dual rates, expodential, flight modes and endless programming options. Yes, they are worth wile. Some of my stuff I enjoy very much requires a lot of expo. just to keep reasonable control of them. A speed model such as a Quickee, or formula becomes very toutchy at 150-200 mph, a elevtor movement of around 3/16" to make a sharp turn. A 3-D airplane moves the control surfaces to around 45% from 0, again very quick on the sticks. There are pilots out there who don't need or use expo, but they are few and far between, and not human. At 73 and in the hobby since 1949, I still learn something every darn day, and still working at improving my flying skills, and still loving it!!! ENJOY the best hobby in the Wold, full of outstanding people who quickly become great friends.
