I am not sure what you are asking. If you stand behind the copter and after the you get 4 green flashes, engage course lock. From that point if you move the elevator forward the copter will move forward, back it moves back. It does not matter what the orientation is. You can rotate the copter while you move in any direction forward, back, left or right. With home lock, if you move the elevator back, the copter will come back to the starting point. I hope this helps.
