Tail Function
As the helicopter is equipped with two counter-rotating rotors, there is no torque around the yaw axis (rotor shaft). The
helicopter does not need a functional tail rotor for stabilization.
To allow the model to turn around the yaw axis (rotor shaft), the two main rotors run at slightly different speeds and the
model begins to turn (see figure 11). The tail function is controlled with the left-hand control stick (see figure 1, item 11).
If the lever is pushed slightly towards the left, the tip of the fuselage turns towards the left. If you steer towards the right,
the tip of the fuselage turns likewise towards the right.

Roll function
The roll function allows you to move your model helicopter sideways to the right and to the left (see figure 12). For
control, use the right control lever (also see figure 1, item 3).
If the lever is steered slightly towards the left, the model drifts sideways to the left. If you steer to the right, the model
drifts sideways to the right.
