i hear there are a quite a few heli guys in Foridia.

A good place to start with your set up is to make sure you can mechanicaly reach -12 to +12 degrees for full pitch range. Set the low pictch curve point to zero% and high to 100% then set your linkages and servo travel up so you can get -12 to +12 degree range ( you might need to adjust the long rods between the swash and the upper mixing arms to get full range on both sides). Once you do this you can limit and change the range using the pitch curves to suit your needs (and they will change over time).

A good beginner set might be -2 degrees at low stick, and +8 degrees at high stick, and linear change between those points, so you end up with 5.5 - 6 degrees at the middle stick point or maybe a littel higher. i don't know that radio but some allow you to null points so you can just set the top and bottom point and ignore the midlle point settings (straight line).

Once you have that, you match the throttle curve so you have aprroximatly the same head speed as you go from 1/2 stick on up. before you do that, it is a good idea to work on the throttle linkage to be sure you get full range of motion at servo settings of -100 and + 100 (or thereabouts) (again the throttle curve set for 0% at low and 100% at top). make the throttle link the same length as from the center of the servo arm to teh enter of the carb barrel, and your geometry will work out nice and linear. a good set of numbers to use once you have done that is 25% at low 50% at mid stick and 100% at high stick. you will need to adjust these numbers a bit once you get it running. the tricky part is the carby tuning has a big effect on RPM and heat. and RPM has a big effect on carby and heat and heat has a big effect on RPM and engine life, so you will be juggling settings for a while. what engine do you have?

If you run OS 32 or 50 they tend to run nice and cool in the 160 degree range is very common, if you run TT 39, they tend to run hot between 190 - 230. Knowing the temperature is very helpfull especially for the TT (IMO). you can get a good cheap littel IR thermometer from tower hobbies or your local RC car supply. you tune by temerature. too cold too rich, too hot too lean. The head speed is also important. If you run too slow, the blades have to be at high pitch to lift which puts a strain on the engine and you miss out on valuable power.... shoot for 1500 - 1600. If you are carefull an airplane tach can be used. Great heli ones are available but they are expensive.

Once you get the heli running, be sure to keep it LOW maybe only a few inches off the ground and only for a short time. Be happy to take your victories a few seconds at a time untill you tstart to get the hang of it and you have a chance to get the set up adjusted right. Simulators are the best way to learn to fly. Realflight G2 is the most popular one, it is 200$, but even if it were 2000$ i would highly recomend getting one.

best of luck, find some help if you can, if not ask lots of questions and take your time. it is a booger to get started, but well worth the effort.
