Been searching for the past hour and can't find an answer.

I have a Blade Pro, HS55's and everything else is stock, electronic wise.

I am able to get everything setup, the swash works correctly etc.

What I can't seem to do is make it so that in normal mode, stick all the way down is 0 collective. Like how the stock radio works.

Everything is in idle up mode where middle stick is 0 collective.

What do I need to adjust the the "N" setting. I presume I can leave Offset 1 and 2 alone.

Ok, figured it out. Pitch curve in N mode set to
45 45 50 75 100

Anyone have a better suggestion? My throtlle curve in N is
0 25 50 75 100

Throttle curve in Normal should be linear as you have it. My pitch curve is 55,60,65,70,76.5. This keeps it in line with idle up when you throw it. You's may be slightly different, but you should check that the pitch doesn't change when you throw the ide-up.

Does the esc turn red on the pro at full throttle like it does on the BCP? If so, you want to set an endpoint on the throttle to about 5% above wherever it turns red. Mine on the BCP is at 37%. Otherwise it will be in the red before you even hit midstick.

yeah it turns red at full. I got that adjusted ok. I'm not anywhere near using idle up. In fact I have them turned off right now so I don't accidentally hit the switch.

Mine's turned on, but I've actually only thrown the switch a couple times.
