RC Helicopter Controls

The following diagrams show the transmitter control stick inputs and corresponding movement of a radio controlled helicopter, operating with a "mode 2" type transmitter. Mode 2 transmitters use the left stick to control up/down collective pitch and left/right yaw (tail rotor pitch) inputs, and the right stick is used for fore/aft and left/right cyclic inputs.

The Colorado Rotor-Heads is a group of R/C helicopter pilots based in Denver, with members all along Colorado's Front Range.  Our members belong to many of the Front Range clubs from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins.  As a result, you may see our members at many of the local club fields and even the occasional cul-de-sac.  If you would like to learn more about the Colorado Rotor-Heads, or R/C helicopters in general, please visit our web site at www.coloradorotorheads.com.
