Hello, I have just about completed my first helicopter, a TREX 450SA, however, even after watching the Finless TREX450 setup videos, I'm still at a loss when it comes to 1) fine tuning CCPM 2) blade balancing with the pitch guage and 3) setting up the gyro and transmitter (videos are referencing a Futaba RX while I have a Spektrum DX7.) I probably need someone to show me what to check and how to check it specifically with my heli and equipment since there are little differences in setup.

Does anyone know of any good RC heli contacts/shops that can help a complete beginner in looking over setup before I "attempt" a first hover? Location: Anaheim, Orange, Irvine, CA area. For those who are familiar, I've been to "Ultimate Hobbies" in Anaheim, but they do not specialize in RC heli (less than 5% of the stores space.)

Thanks for anyone's insight!
