RE: setting pitch
Yeah, the 2 flight modes are "normal" and "stunt". Normal is what you'll use for takeoffs, landings and most hovering. Stunt mode is for forward flight, aerobatics. That radio should also have a pitch curve for throttle hold.
I helped a guy setup his curves with a 6102 a while back and can't remember, but does that radio have 5 point curves for pitch/throttle or just low-stick, mid-stick and high-stick?
