controller functions

newbie here, Bought my new cp today..Was expecting a little more info in the manual about the controller though..where do i find a diagram for dummies that tells me what all the different sticks and switches control..I do plan on using a sim..Also my local hobbie shop is holding a heli night for indoor flying,,But until i understand the controller how would i learn on a sim

thanx

Here's a basic understanding of the stick controls.

The only other controls on the BCP are the trainer switch and the idle-up switch. If your not using a buddy box then ignore the trainer switch. Leave the idle-up switch in the off position (pushed to the back). This is used for FFF and 3D flying. If you can't fly inverted don't touch this switch.

thanx,, that web page is a must.. but he never discusses the 4 slider switches. 2 horizontal and 2 verticles ..with execption of the left verical one when would you use the other 3?.. told you i was a newbie..and for what it's worth. the blade manual is not very user friendly what so ever


thanx again for the input

You got a long road ahead if you don't know that much. The "sliders" are the trim adjustments. You adjust then to "center" the joysticks.

Example, if your hovering and the heli tends to fly forward, you would move the trim slider down until the heli hovers correctly. Same for the other 3 trims. The throttle trim should be kept all the way down and shouldn't be touched until you are more advanced.

Basically the trim is a slight adjustment to the corresponding stick that stays constant.
