any setup advice for a blade 400 with this same body? without body blade zooms really fast forward flight any input would be greatly appreciated from this newbie thanks

@dauphinnut2011 - I recommend replacing the Blade 400's stock servos, gyro and rotor blades.

For cyclic, Hitec HS65 servos are ideal, but HXT900 servos will work just fine too. I like to use the Align DS510 for the tail servo.

@Joeriver92 - It was a maiden flight, just to test things out before dialing it in.

Nice looking Agusta model. were you able to get the retracts sorted out later?

[BlackTitanium]

@cholubaz - Yes, replaced the stock retracts with a set of Great Planes .10 Mechanical Retracts.

@dauphinnut2011 - I recommend using a pair or at least one programmable servo.

Because both servos use the same channel, you can not apply different ATV to each servo in your radio.

Using a programmable servo, you can set the servo travel in the servo.

@dauphinnut2011 - Replace the stock retracts, with the Great Planes .10 Mechanical Retracts.

I have had them for years, and they have not broken and do not collapse upon landing.

There is a set screw to remove the axle, and replace with the axle that came with your stock retracts.
