This might not apply to you if you have any prevoius RC experience but make sure your rudder stick controls the nose of the heli not the tail ! Fly the heli as if you were sitting in it. That means rudder left, nose left, rudder right, nose right. I learned by myself and my first instict was to look at the tail. Once I found out what others were doing, it was too late for me to chage over....
Any difference in radio setup will not change the way you fly but will cause problems when you go to fly someone else's heli. Once you get used to a setup it will be practically impossible for you to fly any other way. If anyone who has their radio setup 'properly' tried to fly my heli they would crash. And so would I if i tried to fly theirs. Anyways... my 2 cents.
I used to fly by the tail but... I did it like this:
When I pushed the yaw stick right, my tail would go left and I would think... That's right! Because the air is getting pushed to the right!... But now I now to fly by the nose I haven't had to change around my tx setup.
I fly mode 1 and I can tell you the setup is the attached picture.
