- Turns the transmitter ON and OFF.
Pitch/Roll Control Stick
- Controls the quadcopter’s Forward/Backward (Pitch) and Right/Left (Roll) flight axes.
Pitch Trim Switch
- Used to make fine-tuned adjustments to the pitch axis to level the quadcopter during flight.
Power/Bind LED
- Indicates the current status of the transmitter.
Roll Trim Switch
- Used to make fine-tuned adjustments to the roll axis to level the quadcopter during flight.
Throttle/Yaw Control Stick
- Controls the quadcopter’s Throttle (Power Up/Down) and Yaw (Spin Right/Left) flight axes.
Throttle Trim Switch
- Used to make fine-tuned adjustments to the throttle axis to keep the motors from turning ON
when the throttle control stick is pulled all the way back.
Yaw Trim Switch
