RE: about to throw it all out the trash :)
No they need to be diffrent.
Ok here is how my rappy is setup for learning! You only really need the normal mode for setting it up, just fly in hh mode to begin with other wise, yes you have to constantly control the tail and you will have enough going on already learning to hover.
Throttle position (Start it at 20% just about highest tickover without engaging the clutch)
1. 20%
2. 40%
3. 50%
4. 60%
5. 100%
Pitch position (% on tx degrees on the blades)
1. 0
2. -
3. +5
4. -
5. +9
The -'s you need to work out a nice smooth pattern so enter a valus inbetween. Watch the flybar against the pitch gauge as you increase the setting on the tx, when it lines up your there.
