Default Need Auto Rotation advice

As my other posts says I recently tried my first true autos.
Now I have a few questions.

1) It seemed like the heli fell forever before it started to really slow from the blades spinning. I probably started out at 300' and lost at least 1/3 before I could really notice control of the heli.
Is this normal ? or Do I need to add more negative pitch to get the blades spooling up quicker? I think they are now at -4 on the gauge.

2) If this is normal, then what the heck do you do if you have a flame out at say 60' ? Heck I know mine fell at least that much ( or seemed to ) before the blades really picked up.

How do you do a Low auto, ( 100' to 30' ) ?
