Don't hear much of anyone flying the Avro, it looked a great machine on the stand at the 3d Masters. One thing Align have got right their marketing strategy, they must have the midas touch as they are popular. My club secretary is ' Branded'. Even his dog snowy wears an align jacket!!!!

Craig super machine and I am sure Stefan will be pressing the Masters hard in the next year or two with such a great machine.

i think people are losing faith in align and align are on a slippery slope at the moment.
the honey moon period is over
if i had to buy a 90 the raptor 3d would be very tempting because its a bloody good helicopter with the new items(on the 3d)and its very reliable..but looking at the rjx90 it looks great.
what would you guys buy.align aside that is
cheers craig simmons..Black Country Helicopter club.

Another typical RJX Sunday for Counrty & Western - and Timmy Mallet as well!!! Country & Western did his first proper auto today as his tail linkage on his X50 came off. He did a very nice flip but then went straight into a piro. He realised that his tail had failed so he hit throttle hold and did extremely well at auto-ing it down without any damage. I hold my hand up to you C&W!!!
Then when Timmy Mallett arrived at the field with his X50 he had a main gear failure and had to auto it down (again without any damage). His clutch liner also seems to be slipping down out of the clutch bell.
As for the 600's and my 700 well I can report that nothing failed!!! Qal turned up and borrowed my 700. He flew it very nice indeed with some VERY low inverted hovering. I was slightly papping myself as my 700 is only a week old. But very well done Qal - superb flying.
Will report next week on the RJX reliability!!!

Tin Tin you are correct, however, you failed to mention that my second xtreme flew like a dream today. The problems with my tail linkage I think is linked to when I binned it the other week, I think I am still finding the damage that was done.
Your 700 flew great today Qal certainly put it through it's paces.
Mallets stripped gear I can only put down to build quality and very hard flying.
Tin Tin do you want me to fetch some Andrex next week, your Asshole was twitching that much today when Qal was flying yer 700!!!!! A true RJX pilot he had to take it easy with it.

I dunno,a 500 quid model and parts are failing on them,and people have the cheek to moan about Aligns reliabilty.
Just to report both 700`s down here and all 8 600N `s flew faultless again as probably did hundreds of others thruout the country.Last edited by ChrisB; 28-09-2008, 07:49 PM.

Well said. Yep we had 3 X50's today at our club. 2 out of 3 had mechanical failures. There were 4 600's and my 700 and no problems at all with the Align helis.
