Default 4 channel control

how is the control set up on a 4 channel radio? ( such as the xrb, or the housefly)

is it......left stick = power up & down and left, right pitch with the tail rotor
Right stick = left, right roll and forward, backward from the col.

i know my terms are not correct, but if someone could just tell me the controls of the 4 channel xrb or housefly. Thanks.

hahahahahahaha.

That was good.

Heh, Mode 1 is US standard. Mode 2 is rest of world.

It's just that Mode 2 is easier for Heli pilots since the right stick then becomes Cyclic.

The difference in Mode 1 and 2 is whether the collective is on the left or the right.

Rudder is always on the left. "Aileron" is always on the right.

"Elevator" is wherever Cyclic (throttle) isn't.
