Thanks, it was pretty stressful!

I've got the mSR, mCX and the Trex 450 Pro all packed up and ready for tomorrow's MRCHA meet and my first real flying. I feel like a complete dork for being this excited. I'm going to bring a video capable camera and a steady handed blond, if anyone wants a flight recorded.

Hey Matt,

Your not a dork Rad, I get excited just looking at the birds in my garage. My wife and I were sitting at dinner last night and as I was looking at her from across the table she said whatcha thinking about, I was honest and told her helicopter orientation, she didn't understand but she wasn't mad that I was looking longingly into her eyes and thinking about helis. She really loves me.

Matt Nasca · 01-16-2010, 07:15 PM

Everything went great at the MRCHA fly! I didn't count but there were about 30 people there and it was well organized!

I managed 3 packs, no training gear and actually did pretty well! Afterwords, some of us went to the outdoor field to see one of the guys' new Trex 700 Nitro (holy chit)!! I did another pack there and set down on a snowy rut and shaved all the teeth off the front lower drive gear. Oh well!

I'll have a couple videos up soon! I'm in the process of repairing and fine tuning on the advice of some really nice, helpful people.

Edit: Got one posted. I got a little more brave about 2:13 in and went to stunt 2. Still just hovered but it got my hands shaking. There were some technical difficulties with the other vids; the camera woman thought the stop recording button was a pause, so I have about 4 dozen 12 and 30 second videos.

Matt Nasca · 01-31-2010, 02:02 PM

Just got a Trex 250 last Saturday, to fly inside, since they don't allow anything larger than 300 here. The 250 flies awesome and not that much more difficult than the 450 Pro. I put a Scorpion 2206-3900KV in it too...

Nice flying 4D!

kevinbj1 · 02-15-2010, 10:53 PM

Hey guys hope yall can help me. I'm putting together a 450pro with DX7 my rudder servo won't come back to center after I move the rudder stick left it will stay left till i move the rudder stick right than it starts to come back.

yowser · 02-16-2010, 05:57 AM

Try moving the rudder stick left then right two times quickly and then center the stick. It should center the servo. Your gyro has not senced any movement from the tail so it will keep trying to move it because you have put input into the controls.

Matt Nasca · 02-27-2010, 05:58 PM

I'm still shy of forward flight but I can front flip like nobody's business!! I just wish the snow would melt and it would get warmer!

gevaho · 03-17-2010, 03:46 PM

I started flying 450's about 9 months ago . After crashing my copterx 450 AE V2 re-kitted to the Pro (with the belt drive).
Here is one of the first flying vids with this Copter.

icerat4 · 03-17-2010, 08:23 PM

Wow pretty good for a newbie Looks like you get upgraded status....

Jake Mackey · 03-20-2010, 04:44 AM

Heres a video of my 450 pro with the new 3G system on it. Just feeling it out and getting it dialed in.

psena · 03-20-2010, 08:38 PM

rxdi · 03-21-2010, 08:27 PM

Here's my new pro, still a little nervous on FF, due to the drifting tail, but I can piro and flip it all day long. This was my second time out flying this. Don't to hard on me, I've only been flying a couple months.

I did get to chase a bird at about 4:40 into it and this was also my first throttle hold with hovering landing, went a little rough. The next one was smoother
