Default RE: beginner needing help with set up

As stated, Adui's answer is correct

As for remembering them in the future...

(Note, all dimensions are from standing behind the plane)

Elevator and rudder are easy:

Elevator: Up (Pull back on the right stick) Elevator moves up

Rudder: Left or right (Move left stick left or right) Rudder moves left or right correspondingly

The Aileron is a little tougher, but here's a "Rule of Thumb" to help you remember:

Use the "Thumbs Up" rule - Push the right-hand stick to the right or left with your thumb. If you "thumb" the stick to the left, the left aileron will go UP

Thumb to the right, the right aileron goes up.

So in either case - Thumb = Up!
