Default Basic setup/controls on a helicopter...

I am a fixed wing pilot and recently got the Aerofly Pro simulator. For a change I thought I'd try and fly a helicopter but just cant work out how the controls should be setup. I fly mode 2 (throttle on left) so could someone please tell me what control (pitch etc..) should be assigned to what axis on my transmitter.

Thanks.

Cyclic pitch fore and aft will be elevator on the right stick. Cyclic Roll will be on the right stick on the aileron.

Collective pitch mixed with throttle will be on your left on your throttle axis and tail rotor will be on your rudder channel (left stick left and right)

Gyro sensitivity is normally on your gear channel if you have a gyro that uses remote gain.
