Decreasing the speed of the main rotor blades by lowering the throttle stick
will cause the model to descend.
After lifting the model off the ground you can balance the throttle by
carefully moving the throttle stick up and down so the model will hold a
stationary hover without climbing or descending.
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 (by pressing the left-hand rudder trim button) until the nose
stays as close to straight as possible.
The elevator stick controls pitch fore/aft. Pushing the stick forward will pitch
the nose of the helicopter downward, allowing the helicopter to be flown
forward.
