I just bought my first rc helicopter a Honey Bee- 4 channel. The manual
don't describe all the bottons on the remote control, it only describe the
two sticks. Is there anyone out there who knows where to find a complete
describtion of ALL the bottons on the remote.

Regards Lau

when you say buttons do you mean the sliding bar alongside each control,
about 4 altogether?

1. The one that matches the throttle, you start this at the lowest
position, when the copter is on and transmitter is on you move this slider
upward/forward until the rotors start to move, then move back till they
stop.

2. The left to right below the throttle, this is your rudder. place copter
in front of you with tail towards you. Throttle up gently until hovering
begins 2 feet above ground. If the tail boom rotates left or right, counter
with slider.

3. Whilst hovering the copter may move forward or back. adjust with the
other upward/forward slider. till stationery.

4. Whilst hovering the copter may drift sideways left or right. compensate
with left or right slider.

Not nearly as easy as it sounds. First try to counter moving the normal
control sticks. When you find which way to move them to counter drifting
move start moving the appropriate slider in that direction.

Still not easy as that either. Most likely the copter will move in an
irregular or circular pattern. Or once you compensate one movement others
will become apparent.

Join a club and get someone who knows what they are doing to do it for you.

oh yeah centre all but throttle slide bar before you start. The throttle
stick and slider should both be set to off.

Thanks a million. It was just the answer i wanted.
I don't know anybody who can help me and i haven't found a club yet here in
Denmark which has rc-copters. So i'm very greatfull for your quick respons.
I've had it for a week now and i already have to change the tailbom and some
other parts. I knew it was difficult but not that difficult. I hope i get
the hang of it in the near future.
Thanks again.
Lau

Check this Setting - the helicopter in the setting video is the same
one as the helicopter you have in hand:
