Default Jive Pro setup questions

I recently set up my new Jive Pro 120. I'm coming from a Heli Jive 120+ so I'm familiar with how this ESC works but there seem to be a few differences. There are a couple of things I want to double check. First i don't think that I ever had my bailout setup correctly on my Heli Jive so I wanted to make sure that I have it setup correctly on the Jive Pro. I have my normal mode throttle curve set to got from 0-50% the stay at 50% for anything over mid stick. My throttle hold point is set at 30% (for Futaba) per the the manual. When I plug in the Jive Pro does not give me the initialization tones until I turn off throttle hold and the throttle is at 0. Am I setup correctly?

My second question is about setting the head speed. I'm using Mr. Mel's app to find my head speed. Which governor do I use? Do I use Jive mode 4 or Kosmik mode 4?

Thanks.

Kosmik mode 4. The governor is the same as kosmiks, you want your sweet spot at 80 percent throttle, not 60 as in older jives

Do a mode 1 reset, then mode 4

Pro won't arm until it sees zero throttle

For bail out the ESC needs see throttle above 20 and below 30%. It will only arm at 0%. So the way I have it set is NML curve straight line across at 30%, HOLD at 0%. This way I use my NML mode for practicing auotos and just switch to IDLE ups to bail out.

HOLD on for plug in, switch to IDLE UP and set zero pitch, HOLD off for spool up before take off.

There are many other variations of this but that is what I have become used to and as I have up to five flight modes available on the JR TX I do not use NML for anything but auto practice.
