Hi everyone. I'm trying to get back into helis. I just came from another heli forum which turned out to be a big waste of time. I'll start with a similar post here and see how it goes.
The last time I flew a heli the Raptor 50, RD8000 and CSM gyros were hot. I'm trying to get back into it, so I got this little Trex 450 FBL
a Taranis plus, align 3gx and a frsky XM+.
I got the heli from a friend of mine. No disc or dongle for the 3GX.
After being berated about the 3GX I got a kbar because it kept popping up in all the searches I did. I guess I did not do enough research because after it arrived I learned I have to steal software to make it work. Then I got hassled for buying a "no name" FBL unit. I have two 60 size, sorry 700 size birds, three 600 size, all nitro.
I haven't flown any of them for about 8 years. I am not new to the hobby but I am new to all the new electronics and FBL stuff. To me this little 450 is like a foamie, something small to run down to the school yard and fly on a whim. I have NO intention on putting a thousand bucks into it. All that being said any one know how to get started with all this stuff? I thought I would be set up and flying in a couple hours, hasn't played out that way so far. Sorry about the attitude I'm just burned out from the other forum.
