Moving the rudder stick to the left will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the left about the axis of the main
shaft . This is accomplished by increasing the speed of the lower main rotor blade while decreasing the speed of the
upper main rotor blade .
Moving the stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the to the right about the axis of the main
shaft . This is accomplished by increasing the speed of the upper main rotor blade while decreasing the speed of
the lower main rotor blade .
The rudder trim can be used to help keep the nose of the helicopter from rotating to the left or right when in hover
with no rudder stick input . For example, if the nose of the helicopter drifts to the right when in hover, add left rudder
trim until the nose stays as close to straight as possible . Also note that further adjustments to the rudder trim can
be made using the Main Motor Proportional Mix Trimmer Pot as outlined on page 34–35 .

The elevator stick controls both elevator fore and aft pitch . Pushing the stick forward will pitch the nose of the
helicopter downward, causing the helicopter to fly forward .
Pulling the stick backward will pitch the tail of the helicopter downward, causing the helicopter to fly backward .
The elevator trim can be used to help keep the helicopter from drifting forward or backward when in hover with no
elevator stick input . For example, if the helicopter drifts forward when in hover, pull the elevator trim downward until
the helicopter hovers as level as possible with no forward drifting .
