Hi,

Is it possible for a newbie to start with T Rex? I can hover sideways and little forward flight with Raptor 30. Is it very sensitive to wind and is it very hard to fly it?

the T-REX is a very stable electric heli it wont be as stable as the raptor, but if you can hover a raptor sideways and do some ff a rex should be an esy step into electric. check out these build videos. they are from Finless on helifreak. and with his help I built and flew my first rex about a month ago. without his videos i probably wouldnt have gotten off to sucha good start.

hrer are videos for building a T-rex 450 xl HDE. now its the same for the XL CDE and HDE except for servo placement

And here are some other videos you'll find very useful.

What kind of flight time do you get on T-Rex with decent battery?

I get 10 mins with a ThunderPower2100 and a apex 2200 11.1s 3cells....... Running 3400 Kv motors. and these are good batteries.

the cheap ones, probly 5 mins at most[&o]

I have had as much as 12, minutes with a TP 2100, but normally it is 9 or 10.

If you can hover side in, you are a step above newbie.

If you can comfortably handle the 30, the Trex will be OK. Would suggest starting with 335mm blades, but it's really a very stable, easy to fly bird. You're gonna love it.. I have a Sceadu 30, Trex450se, & Blade..Each has it's own personality. Considering the Trex600 toward the end of the year.
