Default RE: Autos, the how to?

My first auto was forced today becuase my torque tub dog bone came loose and the heli started spinning uncotrolabley. Anway, i todally over corect and flared about 50ft to high LOL. Then i went down another 50 ft and flared again. I would call it a milled crash but no blades hit the ground. The only "damage" was me having to clean the darn thing after the skids dug up some dirt. I cleaned her up, fixed the dog bone, and headed out to the local park. I got her up into the air and decided to start some auto practice. My first complaint was that the gyro was set way off. I increased the gain from 50-80. Was running 70 on most flight modes. I am thinking of even going up to 90 because when i switch to throttle hold the tail still moves. I worked my way up from 5ft to 10ft and by the end of the day 30ft. 30ft was in my opinion no mans land. I kept bouncing it when i hit the ground and couldn't for the life of me could not get the flair right. The ones i did get perfect were really cool. Anyway, the last auto broke the landing skids, they just couldn't handle all the bouncing around . Anyway, i ordered more landing struts and will go at it again nect weekend.

I have to give my compliments out to the hawk/os .37 combo. It is so stable, durable, and has so much climb out from hover. It is like a rocket!!!
