A good radio normally has a dual-rate switch on to of the radio for Normal Mode (hovering), Stunt Mode #1 (3D), and Stunt Mode #2 (more power 3D). Stunt mode is also referred to as IdleUp 1 and IdleUp 2. Another mode is Throttle Hold for auto-rotation on engine failure, a second switch is normally used for this.

Normal Mode is used during spin-up and hovering. With the stick down the engine will be off and with 70% up the helicopter should be hovering. These parameters are mainly set-up on the radio by altering the engine throttle and rotor pitch curve.
With Stunt Mode turned on the hovering mode is turned into a flexible mode where the helicopter can be flown up-side-down. Essentially the Normal Mode above 50% is mirrored to the 0-49% section of the stick, but with a negative rotor pitch instead. Look at the picture below to understand the difference between Normal and Stunt.
