Collective (Left Stick – Vertical Movement)-
The spinning main rotor blades, which act like rotating wings, lift the helicopter into
the air. Changing the pitch (angle of attack) and speed of the blades, using the
“collective” and throttle causes the helicopter to rise and descend vertically. Adjusting
“collective” increases and decreases the blade pitch. The “throttle” control increases
and decreases engine RPM. On a model helicopter, the collective and throttle controls
are mixed electronically, and controlled by the throttle stick on the transmitter or
controller.
