  • No just they are getting better!

    The pro had it own probs but its a 2 year old design, and sometimes the sport and the 3d get sl.agged because of that model.

    The new model shares parts but the design is better.

    all 50 are made equal if you use a OS engine, but the model is the way to make the difference.

    I do care if you find that the knight is not your cup of tea! lol
    and want to know why?

    If the reason is because you got a pro and it didn't do what you wanted then make it plain the pro never worked 4 u,

    Don't have to try a sport but at 170 for a new kit.

    People have tried and like it, even the ones that had the 1st ones stayed and like them.

    The 1st 20 sports was a pain in the back side due to bearing not the model just the supplier problems these was sorted in two weeks, all newer kit from the middle of Jan was sorted.

    The updates to the one way bearing was carried out as well at this time.

    It took 2 months before the 1st kits total 5 faults showed any probs at all in the locking auto hub.

    These have all been replace FOC.

    If I know about them.

    The KN3D came 2nd in this years club competition, but that has made no difference to the way its treated on here.

    The sport or 3d!

    What can I say it needs no upgrades has to be a plus.

    Ade has moved back 4 a reason, but the models where getting better on the forum before he left, He want to fly and make the model better.

    Compass want to help in that fact!, its their living and there not a big company where you are a serial no...

    Why is it that the ones that are trying to make the difference get the flack from making the changes.

    He was sponsored and liked he left and still liked it then came back.

    That has to say more about it than anything.....

    • Hi

      I'm not giving any model any flak.

      Anything modern would be an improvement on the Shuttle

      Model treatment on this forum seems strange.

      Align announce a new product and without even flying one, people are desperate to own one and talk it up big time and then dismiss its rival out of hand. I own the 450 XL and I cannot believe there are complaints about the 600N's self tappers and bearing quality. I have these problems on my discontinued Align product. Draw your own conclusions. (They are built to a cost which is fine but.........)

      I'll bet people are ready with their deposits for the 500 version already
      The vast majority of mortal pilots (myself included, although most of the time I struggle to even be classed as a pilot) would be more than happy with a Sceadu, Raptor, Align, Knight, JR etc etc. and I'm sure each model will serve their master well.

      Just fly and enjoy them!!!

      Cheers

            The reason most have gone crazy about the 600n is the fact that the electric 600 is so bloody good and having a heli that performs that well but having longer flight times, no expensive LiPos and some will claim more power has got to be a winner.

            Different models suit different people, I've got through all the Knights, Raptor 50, 90, XeroG, Sceadu and an Avant but last August I got a Trex 600 and have never really been interested in anything else - it just suits me, like the Knight suits Ade - a great heli, just I never really got on with it.

              I think that statement just about sums it up people.
              Ade left & returned!
              Now knowing Ade personaly that is some statement of faith in the Knight product that he has just made as I'm sure the Align sponsorship would have been more than he got originaly with Compass.
              I for one am going to give a Knight Sport a try.

                Was a general statement. lol

                But totally agree that if the knight had a align badge it would of been totally different in the way it viewed.

                Its funny that you get a bearing-clutch-a screw or something that kills a model and if it happends on all the big boys, its oh well it be sorted but if its on a N9 or a KN its this crap or that with 7 pages on RR

                Think we can be happy that works well for you is what you need to stay with.

                The sport is aim at a starter that can't hover!! and the same model looks just as good in the hands of Ade or Paddy!

                The fact is hovering with a better model you can progress quicker.

                We can all have fun what every the model is, and to that we can all agree!

                • Why did he leave the Knight though in the first place if it was so good

                  Maybe Align Uk did the deed and not the other way round?,,just a thought heard some strong words came down from Bob regarding pilot error crashes,,

                  Heard the Knight met the same fate last Sunday so was the 600N at fault really??

                  Sorry but its gotta be asked

                  • So are you saying Mr blake that as I can hover & fly FF figure eights with a touch of nose in that I need the 3D not the sport?

                    Chris
                    I dont think thats any of our business to be honest.
                    I saw many pilot error crashes at charmouth but I didnt see Ade have one. Mind you he was still 2/3rds pie eyed by the time he got to fly on the Sunday afternoon with a strange glint in his eye

                    • I asked him that on page 10, he avoided the question - I don't reckon he was that comfortable switching models.

                      Course it's our buisness as we are all nosey buggers and besides if you become sponsered then you are in the public eye - we all had a good poke at Jenson Button when he was messing about with BAR and Williams.

                      • I think the real reasons he stopped flying Align should be known,,it smells fishy to me

                        I saw a blatant pilot error crash last Saturday of tail straight into the ground and most other fliers who were watching said the same once Ade had left the field,he blamed the 600N and on Sunday they were saying he did exactly the same error with the 3d???

                              We can figure whay he went back to Knights, just not why he left to begin with.

                                Wow a MR

                                "and the same model"

                                No the Sport is Brill and at the price punches well above it weight!

                                The 3d is better but then your paying for the little extra.

                                You will like them both
