Problem: Article: Read your individual aircraft’s operating handbook. Here are some of the basic controls you’ll need to know to operate the helicopter:  The collective is the lever mounted on the cabin floor to left side of the pilot’s seat. The throttle is the twistable grip at the end of the collective. The cyclic is the “stick” located directly in front of the pilot’s seat. The tail rotor is controlled by the two pedals on the floor also known as anti-torque pedals. The majority of accidents are caused when the rotor system gets overloaded. Most usually this occurs when pilots attempt maneuvers that require lift in excess of what the rotor system can produce or power-plant can provide. Raise the collective to make the helicopter rise, and lower it to make it go down. The collective changes the main rotor's blade angle collectively. The main rotor is on top of the helicopter. Adjust the throttle. As you raise the collective, you need to increase engine speed. Decrease speed as you lower the collective. Throttle is directly linked to the position of the collective lever so that the RPM is always in line with the collective setting. You will only need to make adjustments when necessary. The cyclic is similar to a joystick, but sensitive, so make very small movements. Push the cyclic forward to move forward, back to move backward, and to either side to travel sideways. The cyclic does not change the direction in which the front of the helicopter points, but it does cause the helicopter to tilt forward and back (pitch) or to the right and left (roll). These two pedals (or anti-torque pedals) control the direction in which the helicopter is pointing, more or less having the same effect as the yaw pedals in an airplane.  Gently increase pressure on the left pedal to swing the nose left, or increase pressure right to swing the nose right. The yaw pedals increase or decrease the force that the tail rotor produces, thereby controlling the yaw. Without a tail rotor to counteract main rotor torque, the helicopter will naturally spin in the opposite direction of the main rotor.
Summary: Familiarize yourself with the helicopter components and controls. Understand the helicopter's capabilities and limitations. Operate the collective control with your left hand. Operate the cyclic control with your right hand. Operate the tail rotor pedals with your feet.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although a formal education is useful, plenty of artists never stepped foot in a classroom. Expand your drawing knowledge by looking for tips online or by getting manuals from the library or bookstore. Also, have fun spending time around other artists and their works. They’ve got a lot of tips and tricks to pass along. As a satirist, you can use exaggerations in your images to make an argument. Try drawing caricatures of people by expanding their notable features. These features might be large ears, cheap boots, or a jutting chin. Exaggerations show the subject’s personality.  For example, drawing Napoleon shorter than he was in reality made him seem weaker and more cartoonish, even giving rise to the term “Napoleon complex.” Exaggeration shows that the work is satirical because it looks cartoonish, and that prevents the subject from claiming you’re attacking their reputation. Each cartoonist develops their own identifiable style through practice and hard work. The only way you can do this is by drawing and experimenting to find out what works best for you. Some styles look simpler and less detailed while others are more colorful.  For example, Matt Groening’s characters on The Simpsons are identifiable by their large, simplified facial features.  Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury comics feature characters with longer faces with larger noses and detailed hair. Disney cartoon characters are very colorful and have large, soft eyes. Satire comes out in the captions or words you place around drawings. It is humor that relies on  irony, sarcasm, and exaggeration to criticize others. Research tips on satirical writing and attend any classes on the subject you can find, then practice captioning your drawings.  An example of a satirical comment is someone saying “I’m still undecided” after they’ve voted in an important election. It takes practice to get the right subject matter and tone, since you need to be sharp and intelligent instead of mean-spirited or obscene. Balancing irreverent humor with political correctness or cultural sensitivity is a tough but meaningful goal in satire. Immerse yourself in the styles of modern cartoonists such as Gerald Scarfe and Garry Trudeau. Study their approach and humor, then use the parts you like to make your own work better. Pay attention to the reasons why controversial cartoons failed to find a receptive audience.  Feel free to go back in time and check out satirists from a previous time period, such as Thomas Nast, James Gillray, and William Hogarth. Satire can be found in publications including The Onion, Mad, and National Lampoon. Satire exists in all artistic fields. For example, try reading Kurt Vonnegut or Alexander Pope novels. Watch shows like Saturday Night Live or The Colbert Report. about political and social events. The world is always changing, and it’s your job to stay on top of it. Spend time everyday reading articles or watching the news. Current events are the fuel of cutting-edge satire. You can only strike a chord with an audience if you know the subject matter and how it impacts the lives of others. Where you get your information depends on your topic. If you plan on making political cartoons, news articles and programming are for you. Satire can focus on other topics though, such as popular culture or life struggles people face. All satirists run the risk of legal troubles. Make sure you know the laws in your district and country. Though they vary from place to place, they’ll always prevent you from viciously attacking someone. Don’t publish lies or claim you’re writing facts.  Stick to satirizing well-known people such as political and religious leaders. Ridiculing your neighbors isn’t funny and will probably get you sued for defamation. For example, drawing Napoleon short isn’t to mock his height. It’s a metaphor for his political inadequacy. You will get backlash for your work, especially when you misjudge how the audience will react. Stay calm and disregard criticism that isn’t constructive. Satirists step near the line of what’s acceptable, and you’ll learn where that line is by paying attention to your mistakes.  In some countries, you can get away with satirizing visible and powerful people or subjects. In others, criticizing anyone in authority comes with terrible repercussions. For example, the Danish publication Jyllands-Posten and the French publication Charlie Hebdo made cartoons about Islam. Violent protests broke out when these were printed.
Summary:
Continue studying drawing techniques. Exaggerate the physical features of your subjects. Develop your own style. Sharpen your satirical techniques. Read the works of other satirists. Stay well informed Memorize defamation laws in your country. Develop a thick skin.
