If you still have the 'clicks' on the throttle stick then you need to remove them. Most computer radios can control both airplanes and helicopters. If you order the airplane version then the throttle stick will have notches that you can feel as you move the stick up and down. For helicopter use this causes problems in maintaining a steady hover. To remove the 'click' feel to the stick you take the back off the radio and look at the back side of the throttle stick. You will see a thin (3mm wide) long metal strip that has one screw in one end and the other end press against a part of the throttle lever. Take the one screw out and flip the metal strip upside down then put the screw back in. You may need to bend the metal strip slightly to get the tension you want. Move the throttle stick up/down and feel of the resistance. You want some resistance but not so much it would be tight feeling. These instructions should be in the manual for the radio.
