Default new to nitro.

Hey I just bought a .60 vigor and have never flown nitro before so I was wondering if anyone has any tips, advice or even links to articles for newbies. Its not the flying area I need help with its more like setup tips on the heli. I've been flying electric for two years with soft 3d but the nitro looks so intimidating.

Thanks for any help.

I've used this link and so has many others. It will apply to nearly all helis.

I found it really helpful in the engine tuning and throttle linkage set-up areas. There's a lot of other good tips in there too.
