You have two sticks.
The right stick is your cyclic controls. Similar to an airplane they work like aileron and elevator.
On your left stick (assuming Mode2 which is pretty much everyone) you have your collective pitch and throttle combined on the throttle axis, and your rudder.
The 5th channel is used for a gyro gain the 6th is your collective pitch (again, mixed with throttle on the throttle stick)
Im a little confused. So the right stick "horizontal movement" on my Tx setup seems to be doing the collective pitch function, according to what you just mentioned, since every time I hit it, it causes the Heli to lift or lower. Should I then combine the c. pitch into the throttle (left stick) and reassign the the right stick horizontal movement for aileron? and another question, why the need for a 6th channel controlling the c. pitch since this is already combined in the throttle channel? Im sorry about my ignorance but Im a newbie on this!
Thanks a lot for your help!
