Biginners pitch curves.
--As per the manual.-- (good resource!)
there is a guage on the left side of the main frame.
set you hover position (mid stick) to 6 deg.
top end pitch should set to 12 deg pitch. (full stick)
low end pitch should be:
for beginners 0 deg.
for intermediates -4 deg
for experts -8 deg
--my suggestion--
1) set it up with -1 at the bottom and dont worry about any pitch curves yet!! this may or may not be how it was setup before, but you will re-learn very fast the stick placement. You may have to adjust you throttle position a little.
2) learn IRCHA Pilot Proficency Program level 1. Learn the diffrent views of the heli (tail in, both sides, nose in) This will really help you later!!
3) Burn fuel, have fun!!!
If you learn this, when you finally find a local club, you will be off to a great start and on a fast learning curve for 3D! I've seen lots of people jump right into forward flight and then have a real hard time learning to hover at side and nose in views.
hope it helps.
