Check it out below all controls in your drone behave the same as controls in aeroplane.
Another basic step in understanding how to fly a drone is to become acquainted with all of the terms involved. How could you possibly know to fly a drone unless you understand things like throttle, roll, yaw, or pitch? Ailerons, rudders.
Hallmark007 - Helicopters, quadcopters, or any sort of machine that flies by using propellers uses the throttle to go up
Helicopters use a combination of throttle and Collective (blade pitch control). Collective is used to go up or down, whereas throttle is used to keep blades / rotor turning with in a speed (RPM) range that rotot and blades were designed to operate at.
Helicopter Flight Controls
The collective pitch control, or collective lever, is normally located on the left side of the pilot's seat with an adjustable friction control to prevent inadvertent movement. The collective changes the pitch angle of all the main rotor blades collectively (i.e., all at the same time) and independent of their position. Therefore, if a collective input is made, all the blades change equally, and as a result,the helicopter increases or decreases its total lift derived from the rotor. In level flight this would cause a climb or descent,while with the helicopter pitched forward an increase in total lift would produce an acceleration together with a given amount of ascent.
Helicopter rotors are designed to operate at a specific rotational speed. The throttle controls the power of the engine, which is connected to the rotor by a transmission. The throttle setting must maintain enough engine power to keep the rotor speed within the limits where the rotor produces enough lift for flight.
In many helicopters, the throttle control is a single or dual motorcycle-style twist grip mounted on the collective control (rotation is opposite of a motorcycle throttle), while some multi-engine helicopters have power levers.
