450 Need Some Help

[James M. Lewis]

Hi everyone, yesterday I got in the mail my Gartt Pro 450. I've built TREX mainframes in the past but not sure where the elevator servo is placed . Can anyone direct me to find a manual to download. Thanking you in advance.

Is this the flybarless DFC version?.. If so here's the Align manual: https://www.rc-help.com/files/align450proDFC.pdf

I appreciate your help ever so much. You answered my prayers. looking forward to a fun build. Best regards, Jim

Good luck with the build. I think most of the guys here have built a Trex 450 pro (or one of it's clones) at one time or another, so if you have questions ask away.

Thank you Smoggie, You answered my prayers. Best regards, Jim

Thank you Kentucky fly,
I spared no expense. It's all Gartt parts ie. motor, servos, canopy etc. A very solid bird and quite happy with it's performance. No 3D stuff, but using it to learn F3C maneuvers.
Best Regards,
Jim

In some aspects I think F3C is harder than 3D flying. Very precise movements.

Hi Tony,
You're so right. Maybe that's what I'm driven by. Been doing a lot of research on this and you got to be on your game. Watching the Japanese and Europeans especially the Brits, they're good. The USA team need a lot of practice to come up to their level. Put out a thread last week on the time spent with the little ones helicopter flight school. The response received has been very positive from the school and parents. Also got kind remarks from friends every where.
Best regards,
Jim

I have got to step up when fund-age permits that sounds like a challenge and fun

you tube has some excellent videos on F3C flying.

Dont forget F3C requires a slightly heavier heli. The extra weight helps keep the heli stable and in place while in wind.

 

[James M. Lewis]

Good point Murankar, eventually will consider a bigger helicopter. But for now learning the ropes and flying on a calmer day would work. And I wouldn't try to venture the heights as seen on you tube with a 450.
