Hey there illhillbilly and :welcome1:You can but you don't have to have the sticks @ mid point on letter G. Just make sure your heli is on a level surface first. Then get the servos @ 90 degrees. This where you need to use your manual for that heli and use their linkage #, as a reference to get your swashplate level and reading "0" or close to, on your pitch gauge. You need to take your time on this section in order for letter "J" to work. "J" is where you need 6 degrees cyclic pitch and the blue light. You might not be able to get the blue light special, that's what I call it lol, so get close to the blue light but make sure you get 6 degree on the pitch cyclic. I hope this help and good luck :).

OK. Your swashplate goes side ways in "H" Do you have 120 degrees "Red light" set instead of 90 degrees? Common mistake.

I wonder if I could help.. Definitely check what D.O.G. said. Enter step G LED off, get all arms as close to 90 as possible with the LED off. Then cycle though each servo to level your swash. Do not try to level the swash with the LED off. You also cant 90 the arms with any color LED on. When you exit the step, one color LED should be on although I don't think that matters.

Hey, we're all human and make mistake. It takes a real person to admit it. Yeah, it's best to take your time and go through everything before a flight. Great catch. That could of been a, "OH-SHIT" moment :facepalm:

Well this is just my :2c:. I have my 500 at the setting above. As for pitch, start off @ 10 degrees +/- and see how you like that. I have mine @ 13 degrees pitch +/- but that's me and we have the same tail settings 63% too :).

I would just set the flying style to "normal" in the parameter menu. Default is sport. You don't want to make any adjustments in the tx unless you set it to "transmitter". I had started a thread somewhere about what expo settings are in the various presets. There is expo set in all the presets believe it or not.

I can't be any help to you in the parameter menu. I've kept mine on default. I think Tony has a video on parameter setting but I haven't seen the video my self. If you mean your tail is still twitchy when hovering then decrease in gain by 5 till the tail stop wobbling. No you can't borrow 2 more cent's...I can barely pay attention as it is now LMAO.
