Hey Bro
Welcome to the club everyone is going to have an opinoin, so here's mine.

I started last year with a 450 SA also. I have the HiTech 5000 gyro on it. I found it easy to set up. Alot easier then the JR Gyro's, So I can help you out.
Any question e-mail me @
[email protected] also try HeliFreak.com Finnless has a great set up video for the HeTech 5000G.
I love mine in the year I've progressed from very basic hovering to FF flight loops rolls flips and fast backward flight, even a couple of upright funnels. the tail holds great! rock solid. I say give it a try
Good luck
Jim R
