Big feet , you may speak some truth about a 450 size heli, however i and loads of others aren't going to buy a bigger heli just to auto. FWW my TRex auto very well, i cant compare to a bigger heli (except full scale lol), but im in full control and i don't find it hard.

matador when you say motor is on well if the throttle stick is all the way down the motor is off isnt it???i am mearly suggesting a powered recovery instead of full auto to the deck. It might save some damage, but if you already doing it then go hard. -4 pitch is a good place to start. As for your tail drift that can be normal if your head speed is low.

keep up the good work
