Use the left & right arrows to speed up / slow down. Use the up & down arrows to tilt up and tilt down. Green bar is altitude, red bar is thrust. To Take off, full thrust, tilt up. Try the helicopter simulator http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/42818392/
I added the MPH. I know the decimals go really long, but just ignore it. That sort of thing won't kill you. Thanks pierbowater and Santiago_albarracin!
