Default Blade 400 pitch and bind question?

Hi

When setting blade pitch the throttle stick must be at the half stick position with the heli deactivated and powered up and the pitch guage on the blade. In what position in the rotor "disk" must the blade be. Both Sokal and Horizon show that when facing from the top the blade must be in the nine o clock position. Is this important. Must it only be zero when in that position or zero all around the "disk". I am currently busy reading up on the mechanics of the Bell Hiller system. I still do not fully understand the way a heli flies. I suspect the balde pitch changes as the blades revolve.

Secondly, when I make changes to the Spectrum DX 6i program, must 'n go through the process of binding and where does the bind plug go in on the Blade 400?
