Hi Jeff

If you look at the left side of the motor (exhaust port side), the carb rotor body that the throttle arm is attached to will rotate clockwise to close throttle and counter clockwise to open throttle. Have you got somebody in your area that can give your heli a once over before you attemt to start it? It is very important that your heli is setup mechanically & electronically correct.
