What are the left and right controller commands?

Understanding these basic controls will make you a better flyer. For beginners, we recommend moving the command sticks lightly and slowly to keep the aircraft flying at a controllable speed.

NOTE: The controls illustrated are set as the default command stick mode (Mode 2).
