will check mine now, its says, Norm post H, hold 2.0% if that helps

Hold should definately not be at 2%, should be 0% or -2%.

Your curve looks wrong to me, it should rise rapidly from L to 1 then be a slight climb to H.

Use the ones in my last post and you wont go wrong, also check that you're getting full pitch (with the motor disconnected) from something like -10 deg to +10 deg.

With CP's you use the pitch curve to control the collective the throttle should change very little once the heli is spooled up, the slight increase in throttle from 70 to 80 is to counter the increasing blade pitch and keep the headspeed constant.

Noticed you have two posts going:

As the Twister is a CP heli, I would suggest the following.

Normal

Pitch 40 45 50 75 100
Throttle 0 70 70 75 80

Idle-up

Pitch 0 25 50 75 100
Thottle 80 75 70 75 80

You should have high headspeed above 1/4 stick.
