Blimey Ian that looks very much like the same port as the 3gx, be nice to here some reviews before i order.

£159.99, not sure if thats expensive or cheap, although if you wait until 3 months after release it will be around £50 as with all there other fbl units.

Have to say i'm disappointed at the price and the fact that you have to order a separate Bluetooth module for £28, it's still not on IOS and there is bound to be issues at launch. I don't suppose that bluetooth module will work with the old 3gx too as promised by Align, doesn't look like it to me

Hey Jim.

Yes it is, it's marketed as a step up from the 3GX with flying quality's to match the known top marks. First reports are good, of course we all know Masters pilots can fly paper bags, so it'll be good to hear real fliers perspectives on it when it's readily available. However first reports are good.

Hey Buddy.

It's competitive I'd say, if it does what is being mentioned and flies as good as we're told it'll be great and appeal to many. The IOS inclusion will set it apart from others and, I am sure, will spur on other marks to offer IOS ability so it could be good overall.

Hey Buddy.

I'm half with you on this, however some may not even want the BT module so Align will have no doubt said why make users buy it if they don't want to. Like the Spartan with the DataPod, once you have one you don't need more.

With IOS, we all know Apple make you jump through hoops to get an app in their store, so hats off to Align for stumping up the money and time to do it. It make be taking longer, but it's coming.

Wile the connection is the same on the 3GX, I don't think it will work on it. Unless Align write a firmware to do so, not heard if they are or not, so anything's possible.

If it performs as well as other top end FBL systems then for the price it isn't bad I would say but if it's not much of a step up from the 3GX then that's definitely overpriced :/

Too true, I'm sure it will be out in the next few days/weeks on the Apple Store, not Aligns fault and i agree it could prompt others to include IOS rather than just Android interfaces (VBar) which is a big deal to many I'd rather get good quality for a higher price than another cheap FBL unit anyway, so heres hoping.

[Ritchieme]

Too expensive for me

I think that's the key. If it outperforms its predecessor and has a refined, polished firmware and user interface that doesn't feel like a work in progress, then I think the asking price would be about right. Fingers crossed lessons have been learnt as this looks promising.

To be fair it's only about £20 more than the recommended retail price for the 3GX. The acid test will be what it actually sells for in 6 months or so, which probably much depends on it's reception.

[ChrisB]

I hope they do really well with it to add another big player to the market,if it performs as good as the best as claimed i think the price is fine,and £28 for a BT module is good also.

I am really keen to have a go with one of these on something.

Looking at the PC software its pretty much identical to the V bar setup procedure

odd that

[Ritchieme]

Its success will be measured by if the Chinese bother to clone it :-)

I think the Chinese cloned it last year and the Taiwanese have gone one better and actually made their own interface software.

Im sure Mikado would be looking at this if they thought something fishy was going on and be all over it like a rash if there was,,,will see

[Ross Northcott]

this just gets better, chinese are cloning Align, which in turns are just popular clones anyway, the sucess of this unit is what they tried to copy or clone in the first place
