    Hasn't the Aurora been out since 2006????


    So with the Rigidcore head does a new main shaft come supplied?

    Just saw that it was released even earlier than I thought. Just didnt want to wind up these Avant boys too much..

    ..they're a defensive breed

    If its 10mm, how about a Kasama Cyber Head?

    would the hirobo freya 90 or turbulence mainshaft fit?
    as both are hardened shafts, would this help the problem?

    the reason of suggesting the hirobo shafts is the early avant's were based on the hirobo freya



    and as for the ridgidcore head it may be time for me to jump over to run ryder and wind the yanks up
    as they didn't like the never arriva jokes about the aurora when they were delayed on delivery dates

    I've got a spare Kasama FBL hub so can try it and see if it would work.

    I have sat here for years with my Align fanboy hat listening to others dissing Align products but Ive never missed a weekends flying due to lack of spares yet.

    Avants may be awesome but Align are on the starting grid at every event.

    I said top end Heli Tim .... And tbh this is why I buy spares when I dont crash is so I dont have too much downtime ... And yes I was looking at a 700 when I was looking at a 90 size until they released the V90 and then the Avant came along at the right time for me ...

    You have been brainwashed by that "Cad" Tom Burgess.

    I remember the day when you were quite happy with a full day's flying with your 700.


    Back to you.
