Any suggestions on first flights?
20-30% gain in normal mode should be ok for starters but you're always better off starting low and working your way up. I might be also tempted to have a switch to turn the gyro off for the first flights in case you knock the gain knob or something else happens; that way you can instantly turn the gyro off if you need to.
