Re: From turn the Tx on, to take off....
-----------------------------------
The idea is to maintain the same rpm whatever pitch (rotor thrust) you demand. 
Most people use normal flight mode to get the heli spun up and for moderate hovering about.
Then flick to idle1 (or stunt 1 mode) for a full set of curve both + and - pitch.
Look at Sao's numbers again.

If that gave you the required rpm you wanted then yes

> Does that mean if the throttle stick is down, that will be 0% throttle and 0% pitch?.
In normal flight mode, kind of... if you wanted full - pitch with 0 rpm. 30-40% or a bit of - pitch might be more suitable (up to pilot preference).
