| Tom,
I was looking at what you have posted and you really should setup pitch curves of 0,25,50,75,100 in all modes to start! Set all the ATV/Endpoints to 100%. The only reason to have less than 100% is if one or two of the servos cause the swash to go off neutral at full positive or full negative pitch. The amount of travel should be limited in the swash mix ratios and not the ATV's. Combining ATV and Swash Mixing can cause undesired mixing of controls.
My settings are:
All ATV's/End Points 100%
Aileron -80%
Elevator +80%
Pitch +25
These settings give me 6 degrees of cyclic and the swash travel for plus and minus 9 degrees. Reduce the Aileron and Elevator if the bird feels too sensitive.
Once you have all of this setup properly you can then set a Normal Pitch curve of say 40,40,50,75,100 if you do not want full Negative in Normal Mode. Setting up this way will work and not give you any hopping up or down when you switch to Idle ups.
Throttle curves should be:
Normal 0,25,50,75,100
Idle Ups (All) 100,75,50,75,100
The final setup touch that makes this all really work nice is to remove the main blades and unplug the tail motor. Now in Normal Mode spool up the Heli with the Tx in Edit Mode for Channel 3. Go to full throttle and the Red LED will be on solid. Now dial down the high end point on the throttle until the Red Led goes out and it turns Green. Go back up on the Throttle End Point about 5% from this point. Now the Red Led should come on just as you reach full collective/throttle. In the Idle Ups it will come at each end of the collective.
