How do I Calm the Trex 450?

As with most RC model helicopters, you need to calm down the engine of the Trex 450 helicopter in order to land the aircraft. Learning to calm the engine on your first flight is an important part of learning how to fly the copter. It's a very simple process, but one you need to perform to get your aircraft down without crashing. Crashes can cause damage to the helicopter, whether it's light damage or preventing future flights.

Instructions

- 1
  Ease the flying helicopter into a hover. Pull back gently on the control sticks to counter the forward motion, and don't tilt the sticks to the left or right.
- 2
  Bring the throttle on the helicopter down slowly. You will notice the helicopter sinks to the ground lightly. It will come down faster the faster you lower the throttle, so take it very easy when you're calming the engine, otherwise, you may damage the skids. Lower the aircraft until it touches down on the ground.

  Turn the throttle off and then turn the controller off. Wait a few seconds for the helicopter blades to stop spinning.
- 4
  Pick up the helicopter, power off the receiver and pack the calmed helicopter away.
