Default Power to hover?

I finally got a 10T pinion for MX400 Pro and it brought the headspeed down to around 2000 RPMs at 50% throttle. I tried to get a hover in the other day and the heli wouldn't lift off the ground. I checked my radio settings and it appears that I only let it go to 70% throttle at full stick. But, my question is...shouldn't this thing be able to hover at 70% throttle and full pitch? It only got light and not very light at that. I don't have a pitch gauge, but it appears that in idle up, I have more negative pitch than positive. I guess I should re-center the swash.

Where should I be in terms of throttle, RPMs, and pitch to get a hover at mid stick?
