8FG help!!!

[PKNEC]

Ok people this 8fg pitch curve is confusing me, please help!!!
I want to set the normal pitch curve to TT raptor 30 recommended settings for a newbie.
Which is 18 38 55 75 94

Now with the 8fg its negative from centre downwards,so do I just take +18 from -100 to get -82 and so on or do I have to go positive with a plus 18 and so on.
And to add to the confusion the Raptor has 2 mechanical setups for collective so should I set up for intermediates/3d and let the pitch curve do the taming down or do I setup for a newbie in which case the the collective is controlled mechanically (to a point) and I dont think a pitch curve will make much difference.
I hope some one can help,
cheers,
Paul

You're making it more difficult than it is. Instead of looking at numbers, look at pitch instead.
Put the throttle stick at 50%. Check your pitch, should be 0. Now move stick to lowest position and check pitch. Set pitch here at what you want by using the numbers in the pitch curve and do the same on the top end.
Same thing for Idle1 and Hold.
