It's a blade 450 3D rtf with a spektrum dx6i transmitter. I was told a 7 channel transmitter will do the trick l. I have flown smaller rc helicopters as practice but they are your typical up down forward and back Walmart type helis I've flown and this larger heli may be too much for me to handle. My local hobby shop will be installing my fuselage to the heli and setting it up to fly. They also said they will instruct me on how to fly it without destroying it. I realize I have a lot of practice ahead of me but I have to start somewhere. Should I start with a simulator? Will a simulator teach things such as pitch curve and throttle curve?? I've heard mixed reviews about simulators. Thank you for welcoming me to the forum.

I need help programming landing gear on a blade 450/Airwolf fuselage. How do I program the landing gear on the transmitter and how do I link it to an AUX Port on the receiver to the transmitter? Which AUX port can I plug the micro servo into?? I'm new at this and this is the final step with my build. Any help with this would be great. Thank you
