Well, I work at a hobby shop and have been secretly training myself on RealFlight for a few months nows and can do inverted hovers and cutting the grass and a few other tricks in simulation so I figured it was time to try out a real heli.
I picked up a T-Rex 450SA with JR radio components (500T gyro, 285s and a 3400, etc) on a DX6 with the 6V setup. And am down to the final stages of assembly. I tried to find a decent T-Rex site, but found most of the boards were people with strong (often uneducated) opinions and so figured i'd try here.
Still need to grab an ESC and a few batteries, but it's at least looking feasible now. Any setup tips I should be aware of? Recommended upgrades (any excuse for aluminum or CF is good enough for me!) Really anything I should be aware of, i'll probably read around a bit and pick up what I can, but figured if I could get some direct help it'd be great.
