Default Setting up GT5 for first time Cyclic drama

Hey fellas, just got a GT5 for my mini titan V2TT and have no clue what all these values and stuff mean, i setup my CGY750 in my E550 with no dramas but this GT5 is doing my head in!!! mainly because the swash feels like its a rudder in heading hold mode.... give it slight input and itll slowly go all the way to the limit of that input,and slooowwwly creep back to the centre in the settings mode its fine

Oh, quick one while we're on the topic of cyclics, how can I increase the cyclic pitch? Do I just increase the ail end points in the TX?

Or increase total gain,you don't want to adjust end points in the radio,do it on the unit

like others I have been trying to grasp the cyclic setup on this unit. After setting up the pitch I tried setting up ailerons and elevator cylics and like others I got no movement. I then came to the freak and started researching the matter. Through the research I saw others state to change the travel limits of each servo. l did this and adjusted each servo until I got the cyclic throw I wanted for cyclics, 8 degrees. Once out of setup mode I tested the cyclics to see what happens and I still ended up with 14 degrees on cyclics and binding. Everything is good in setup mode but not outside of setup mode. I don't know what else to do.

What I tried & it worked for reducing servo movements when I was getting binding was step 15 in the new manual, I think it is called "servo limit for swashplate".
But after doing this I think I had to readjust the collective pich (my +13, -13) then all was well, you might have to make several attempts, come out of setup and check your true cyclic pitch until you've got what your looking for, once it's there check collective pitch to ensure that is where you want it, if not then adjust that as normal in step 16 "pitch travel & agility"
This is all following the new manual downloaded from thunder tiger site.

Don't worry about Cyclic when out of setup, the gyro is trying to match it's position to the input request and because the heli is on the bench it is not following so the gyro keeps adding cyclic!
With the end points in your TX at 100% and 100% gain use the servo travel (not servo limit) in your G-T5 servo menu to get the desired cyclic pitch and then use the swash plate menu to get the desired collective!
