Ok Bill
Finless said that linear bit. But I could not understand how it would work like that. You guys are keeping me alive. We'll get it worked out.
You guys got the info-I got the stick-to itiveness
Cheers
For comparison here's my setup.
First the RX channels:
AUX1 = right rear servo (pitch servo)
GEAR = HH gyro gain (single wire)
RUDD = Gyro
ELEV = front servo
AILE = left rear servo
THRO = ESC (with red wire removed)
BATT/BIND = UBEC (on y-harness)
In setup, AILE and RUDD are reversed, all others are normal
Swash Mix:
AILE = +70
ELEV = +70
PITCH = +65
Throttle Curve Normal = 0, 30, 60, 80, 100
Throttle Curve Stunt = 100, 85, 70, 85, 100
Pitch Curve Normal = 40, 45, 50, 75, 100
Pitch Curve Stunt = 0, 25, 50, 75, 100
In stunt mode, I get about 9-10° of positive and negative pitch. Pitch curves are identical above mid stick so there is no change when you switch to stunt mode in the air. In normal mode, I get about minus 1 or 2° of pitch at low stick. You do want a small amount of negative pitch even in normal mode. If you're flying on a breezy day and the wind catches the heli, 0° of pitch may not be enough to get the heli down quickly where you want it.
If you want your throttle curves to be identical above mid stick you could set your normal curve to be 0, 35, 70, 85, 100. You would never hover below mid stick so that means that you would never see a change when you switched to stunt mode. In fact, you could even go to mid stick throttle while it's still on the ground, switch to stunt mode, and then lift off.
You can adjust the throttle and pitch curves a bit to whatever works best for you.
If you're concerned about accidentally hitting the stunt mode switch, you can set your stunt mode to be the same as your normal curves for now.
Also, for the HOLD settings, I would recommend a throttle setting of 0, and a pitch curve of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 (same as stunt). Once the heli is powered, just hit the throttle hold switch and the blades can't spin up on you accidentally. You can also preflight the heli while in throttle hold. You can move the throttle stick through it's full range to check that the swash does move fully up and down and also do your cyclic stick checks. Then make sure you're at low throttle stick and switch out of throttle hold and you're set to fly.

Do I start out with tail rotor in the center and servo center then use trim to hold in rate mode awww. i tried setting up from heading hold ect. Hey help. Finless says have the tail rotor in the middle of the travel-unlike rate mode you have to fix the pitch for the hover. How do you fix the after you set tail blade in the middle of the travel-rudder trim? Give some numbers again Mr Magic magician. 
. I think you can say I'm enjoying the hobby?
