Try this:
Well, if you're Pro looks anything like my Pro you don't use 3-S as your swash setting. You MUST use 1-S.

The transmitter settings should be like this:
RevR screen:
chan 1 nor
chan 2 nor
chan 3 nor
chan 4 rev
chan 5 nor
chan 6 nor

D/R
chan 1 100%
chan 2 100%
chan 3 100%
chan 4 100%

EXPO
chan 1 0%
chan 2 0%
chan 4 0%

EPA
chan 1 70%
chan 2 40%
chan 3 100%
chan 4 60%
chan 5 100%
chan 6 35%

TRIM
all chan at 0% to start out (will change when you fly and trim)

N-TH
1 - 0%
2 - 50%
3 - 70%
4 - 85%
5 - 90%

N-PI
1 - 10%
2 - 30%
3 - 50%
4 - 50%
5 - 68%

I-TH (idle up throttle)
INH (inhibit this while learning or face disaster)trust me on that.

I-PI
Blank

HOLD
0% (set a zero so that if you bump the THHOLD switch by accident you don't go to a high throttle setting. With this switch in the forward position (towards you), your throttle stick will not work).

REVO
INH (don't use with a heading hold gyro)

GYRO
INH (if you have an inflight adjustable gyro then you use this to switch between Heading Hold and Rate gyro.

SWSH
1-S You MUST use this setting if yours is mCCPM like mine. Check the photo and see servo positions. If they are same as mine use 1-S only.

NOTE: These are all settings that will get you up and hovering when your throttle hits about the 50% position. Later, when your hovering well you may want to experiment with these settings. Be SURE to write all these down BEFORE you go changing anything.

Good Luck,
Bob
