Is it already built? Did someone set it up already?

I suggest you find someone experienced locally that you can get some help from.

But here are some things to do.

1. make sure that all the screws are tight and that any screws/bolts threading into metal have been loctited.
2. check the belt tension for the tail
3. turn on the tx, then plug in the receiver battery to the receiver (DO NOT PLUG IN MAIN BATTERY TO THE ESC)
4. check the functions and make sure the swashplate moves in the right directions
5. check the level of the swashplate and set up your pitch and throttle curves

There are a lot more steps after that but start there.

Step 1. Find a local club or knowlegable helicopter pilot to go over your helicopter, your setup, and get you started.

I would say the easyest way to find out what to do would be to find someone with Heli experiance to help you (a local club maybe), go over the Trex , and explain the 1,000,000 things that you are going to have to know.
If you cant find anyone then read read read.... first go to HeliFreak and watch the Trexx build video's and go over evrything on your bird. Then start googling questions you have about the3 radio to find as much info as possible and post questions you have here. There are a lot of very helpful, knowlageable and freindly people here( its funny the 1st 2 to resond to your post are the 1st 2 that came to mind) and get yourself a computer flight sim that has Heli's , flying the Trexx will be a lot different than flying the lama.

one other GOOD advice ... carefully put it back in its package and send it to me [>:]

just kidding bud .... hope you have lots of fun with it after you get it figured out ....nice lil' heli you got there - wish i had a wife like yours - does she have a sister?
