Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Does someone know what pitch the main blades should be when the heli first initializes?
I had to switch to a new airframe and followed bdavidson's thread instructions, but after that I can't get even enough lift at max collective to get off the ground. According to the thread the blades should be parallel with the flybar, but to get off the ground I need to crank those pitch links at least 3 turns beyond to increase the main blade pitch enough to get off the ground at all.
I figure I must be doing _something_ wrong since when I do crank the pitch up enough to lift off the helicopter seems sluggish and unresponsive (I had been hoping it was b/c the head speed was too low b/c the pitch was too high, but cranking the pitch down kills all my lift).
