  • Odd pricing from Align?

    Is it just me, or does the 500 ESP combo now seem a tad pricey?

    £50 more and you can have a 550. This is true for both Flybar and FBL kits.

    Or is it just that the 550 is quite cheap?

    I always wanted a 500 but am struggling to see the point at the pricepoint it's now sat at.

      Dude, I flew my 600n and 700n in my backyard (from behind the patiodoors). The 550 will be able to do piroflaps in my huge garden!

          OTT Discounting

          The 500ESP is not pricey. It is down to the crazy discounts being offered on 550's. Grab it whilst you can.

            I almost pressed the button for 550 then almost pressed for 700e as I could use 2 of my 500 batteries but my finger slip off & went for a 700 nitro now I'm trying to rub out the button for 550 so i cant press it, now reading this post my fingers found a fresh button, do I don't I, got to stop thinking about it" anyhow my suggestion is if you haven't got 500 or 600 then 550 is a good choice but although never flown 550 before I think between the two I would go for 500 as you would have extra cost of 550 batteries.

              Hahah, yeah Nick I was wearing my special "flight suit" with the 700n.

              My mate might be selling his 500 FBL so this might solve the dilemma!
