Well your pitch settings depend on how much heli experience you have.
If you have zero experience then I'd try for about positive 8 (+8) and
negative about minus 3 (-3).
You don't want to much negative pitch because when you panic and slam the
throttle to low , you'd SLAM the heli into the ground and that would cause a lot
of damage.
Also, as a new heli pilot you should dial in 25% negative expo so the heli
will not be to sensitive. That would be on channel 1 and 2.
Leave the d/r settings at 100% for now. D/R is useful on airplanes but not
so much on heli's.
Once again...these are just suggestions to get you up and hovering. Later
you will want to experiment.

OK Airman, you've helped me out alot thanks again!!!!!!!
This is what I have done so far I've got pos.6 neg.3 will those pitch settings work?[sm=drowning.gif] another question are you guys using the mini pitch gauge or that helimax pitch gauge? I was trying to use the pitch gauage from tower but I THINK IT'S TO BIG.[:@]
