Naw..  450s are tricky to auto, but I've pulled 'em with 10 degrees..
You just need to manage headspeed on the way down, flare hard without
ballooning to drive the headspeed up and don't waste any time getting
it on the ground once you've flared.

With the 600, it doesn't take much collective "pull" at the bottom to
auto...
