First Maiden Flight... T-Rex 450 SE

[Airickf]

Well it went ok... I was hovering quite nicely then I gained some altitude pretty quick!... I think it might of been because of the wind?... Anyway I set it down a little too fast and cockeyed. My main blade hit the grass and my main gear stripped... :( I think my heli seems a little sluggish... Is -30 expo too much..?? Before hitting the ground it seemed like it didnt want to respond... or mabe it was going too... just not quick enough. I'm going to try a little less expo... All in all it was exciting/fun!

30% is probably too much. Do you have the flybar weights on and all the way out to the paddles ? If so try 15% expo (or even 10%). If not, try 15-20% to start.
