  Looking at that, I assume that altitude is not controlled in the same
way as in a real helicopter, ie. by changing the angle of attack of the
rotor blades. Instead, I assume that in this case it's done by changing
the speed of rotation?

  Also in a real helicopter pitching and rolling is done by changing the
angle of attack of the blades differently at different positions, but
here I assume it's done with those small blades. Yawing is probably done
in the same way in both.
