RC Helicopter Setup

Okay, so you bought that $1,000.00 flying thing and it's now in your home. You rip open the box cover and find that you still have to fix the tail, blades, and servos before you can get it up in the air.
Well, you tell yourself, it's not a problem, so you hurrily screw in all the parts and go off to the flying field to try out your new toy. The engine fires up. The blades spin, and you find you can't stop the engine. In panic, you back off, and the engine races. The heli bounces, and CRAAASSSSHHH! So what happened? Setting up the helicopter correctly is *THE MOST* *Important* thing before flying it. And understanding the principles of all the working, moving parts will save you hundred of dollars in repair cost.
