Hap, in CM eye mode, stick controls where you look, but you have to be pushing a button. Either forward, or reverse.
Otherwise nothing moves. Its full 3 axis, so rudder is often quite handy.
Throttle controls speed, so if your zipping too fast pull the throttle down to idle, or very slow.
Takes a bit of practice but its fairly intuitive once you get past having to have a control active to move.
