That's why we have these forums mtracy.

But your assumption is incorrect. In order to hover, your heli will need positive pitch as your blades won't develop enough lift with zero pitch. While in forward flight you will not need as much pitch as the blades act as an airfoil (wing). I believe a standard range of pitch for hovering is around 2.5 to 4.5 degrees. That is why most people here say they hover at around 5/8 to 3/4 stick. With zero pitch at center position you will have the added pitch at 5/8 to 3/4 stick creating enough lift to get you off the ground.

Hope this makes sense.
