TT Raptor 30 settings
At Dion's request, here are the settings I use in AFPD for my Raptor 30. It's still not perfect, but it's getting mighty close! 
Fuselage:
Weight: 2345 g
CG: 0cm 0cm 0cm
Frontal Drag: .30
Lateral Drag: .70
Lateral Lift: 1.1
Vertical Drag: .40
Vertical Lift: .9
Main Rotor:
Diameter: 124.5
Gear Ratio: 9.56
Blade Weight: 99.79g
Pitch min: -12
Pitch max: +12
Cyclic Pitch: 7
Tail Rotor:
Diameter: 24.4 cm
Gear Ratio: 4.1
Pitch min: -20
Pitch max: +20
Gyro Gain: 80
Gyro Zero Adjust: 35
Gyro Range: 40
Heading Hold: Yes
Piro Speed: 720 deg/s
Engine:
Max Power: .9 kW
Torque: 0%
Idle RPM: 2000RPM
Max RPM: 17000RPM
Weight: 335.66g
Right Thrust: 3 deg
Down Thrust: -2 deg
Here are my radio settings too. (I'm using a 9C, but shouldn't make any difference... If you only have three point curves, just use the top, bottom, and middle numbers.... if you have 7 points, just interpolate the middle figures...
Throttle Curves:
Normal: 30%, 45%, 56%, 70%, 83%
Idle-Up: 100%, 78%, 64%, 78%, 100% (I only use one idle-up on the sims)
Pitch Curves:
Normal: 23%, 44.5%, 63%, 78.5%, 88%
Idle-Up: 12%, 30%, 50%, 69%, 88%
Thr-Hold: 21%, 37.5%, 60%, 82%, 100%
Revo Mix off of course... Throttle Hold position at 0%
I generally use about 15% expo, but expo and dual-rates are for your preference...

RE: TT Raptor 30 settings
Also, it was mentioned in the other posting that this was a slightly aggressive setup... I should have added this to the original post..
I was going for the feel of my own Raptor 30, which has a TT .39 and fiberglass blades. It's fairly aggressive too. If someone is used to stock woodies or a smaller engine, you may want to try adding a pound or two of weight (i usually adjust this with the weight of the engine). This should simulate it having more flex in the blades and having less "bite" overall. If you do do that though, you may have to slow the sim speed down.. To say 85% or slightly less to negate the extra effects gravity on the weight.
