| That switch was intentionally put there to be very easy to use in flight.
What you need to do is to get your idle up set up correctly.
The heli should not do much of anything except change headspeed when you flip that switch.
If the heli jumps or moves then you have a setup problem.
What is supposed to happen with idle up is that the throttle curve will go to a V curve so that you are at full throttle at full up stick and full down stick and most people have a higher headspeed set up in idle up than in normal mode.
As a rule I never leave the ground unless I am in idle up.
You can check some of this on the bench to track down the problem.
FIRST DISCONNECT the motor from the ESC.
Now with the heli on the bench you can flip the idle up switch safely. If anything moves you will have to find where the problem is in your setup and fix it. There are a lot of things in the TX programing that can cause this.
If you can, get some help from a local heli pilot with some experience. | |

Pretty much what he said, if it does something funky when you go into idle up then it is a setup problem that needs to be addressed before flying.
Just to be clear, you don't have to be in idle up to leave the ground or even use idle up at all while you are hovering around. This is just a preference of more advanced pilots.
