Default RE: how much negative pitch do i need for autorotation for trex 450

i would think as much as -10 or so. you probably dont need that much, but since its electric, and has more drag on headspeed, it slows down faster than if it were a nitro powered heli for example. i have -10 on mine just to be safe. not enough neg. pitch would obviously result in a crash due to the drag slows the head speed down quickly. but i would put training gear on it and set it to -8 -10 or so on negative pitch, and do some autos. experiment a little with how fast it slows down. training gear would add a little weight, but better to experiment with it on in case you land hard or something.
goodluck with it
