I am certainly an Align fan but wouldnt buy one without some feedback first.

[Arwel]

Well I think they are out in June, seen the videos of them flying. I have some cash burning in my pocket!!

[Tim Procter]

Get a 500, Great heli but don't ask Smoothound his thoughts this week will you..

[funfreex]

I think the next heli I will buy will be a 500, they look great and most reviews seem ok!

Will be totally honest Martin, I have re-programmed the heli to my new DSX9 this weekend so while doing this thought I would take notice of Ashley and Trevors tips and start again from the servos right up to the blades.

Fit some new 35mm servo wheels to the 3 swash servos and have now NO subtrim dialled in at all, Set it up via the rods and links and no trim in via the set either, No subtrim/No trim on tranny.

The heli was witnessed by timmy and Dougie flying tonight and although the wind was very breezy my loops and forward and back flips were rock solid and as straight as a die Martin, Inverted hover was rock solid but don't think the subtrim had any effects on that.

Whether it was pilot improvement or the zero subtrim I don't know but they have never seen me fly as tidy ever..

Martin I have also tightened the stick springs up inside the new tranny to eliminate any slight movement on them from my big thumbs.

Believe it or not Martin the Futaba servo wheels fit the Hitec 5245s no problem. The only downside of using these wheels is the elevator servo wheel needs a lot of trimming to get it in there due to the lack of space between the frame.

It looked excellent with the supplied adonised arms that came with the Hitecs but as Trevor said, "The heli flying great is better than it looking great"

How true.

Glad you're having fun with it now, it's supprising what a little bit of time and knowledge setting up the heli to be mechanically correct can do to the performance of a machine.
