You should be at around 1600 to 1650 RPM at 6 degree's pitch in a hover, I don't recommend running it on the ground at 1700 RPM at 0 degree's pitch could cause problems with any heli! Raptors do dance a little bit when spooling up and spooling down it can be cured with the proper throttle pitch curves. I'm glad you got her going I hope you get it dialed in and flying well, due to the low cost, low fear factor your flying will advance quickly.

Can you set up a normal mode for hovering using regular pitch and throttle curves and then set the gov. for Idle up? That would help reduce the bad vibes you are having.
