jumping from eflite to a trex450se

[liftedchevy01]

i fly my eflite blade cx in the house and have fun landing on the tv and then the coffee table, i hover over the dogs and have fun. i wanted the next step up so i bought the trex450se. this thing is so crazy high performance that its insane! the eflight is pretty self leveling and a joy to fly. i hover the trex and have major trouble just doing that. is there an in-between heli that will let me adjust to this easy to difficult flying???? ive had the trex for almost a year and seem to spend months fixing and seconds flying. i use the simulator but real life i cant do anything. . somebody have any type of suggestion or should i just stick with planes?!?!??!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?

You can dial in some expo on the controls to help slow down the response for small stick movements. Add additional weights on the flybar.

Don't run too low of headspeed, as that makes it mushy and harder to control.

Run 335 blades.

Or get a larger heli. Larger is more stable and smoother and easier to fly. Moving up to a Trex 500 (425mm blades) (or similar, I have a Quick of Japan EP8) or a Hurricane 550 (500mm blades) or even a Trex 600 (600mm blades). But of course, with larger when you crash cots can be higher, although the 500 sized parts are not much more expensive than 450 sized parts, and Hurricane 550 parts are very cheap.

Liftedchevy,
Get help from someone locally. The T-Rex450SE is easier to fly than the eflight when it's properly setup. You can also review the setup info Bob(finless has). His setups are mostly for 3D but fly very well for beginners too.

Advice:
1. Get an experienced pilot to help you.
2. Stop flying planes. Flying fixed wing IMHO while you're learning Rotary will mess you up. Once you learn to fly Rotary properly you can fly anything in any orientation.
3. DON'T FLY THE T-REX450 IN THE HOUSE ;)
