In case anyone was wondering,
Yes the stuff I post really does work!

I just today built up a completely stock Blade CPPro from the spares and pulls. I set it up mechanically just exactly as I have been advising on these threads. I used all stock components and the stock transmitter/receiver. The only upgrade is the EFlite aluminum swash with the Align balls and servo links. The tail is completely stock. No external gyro.

On initial hover, the helicopter required no trim to hover easily. The proportional mix needed a slight tweak, so I landed and performed this adjustment, and boosted the gyro gain a bit. Took off and hovered and swooped and practiced orientation in normal and idle-up for the rest of the (stock) battery pack without further trimming or gyro adjustment.
That was it!
The blades were even in track.

Of course I could be making the whole thing up...
but I'm not.
