raptorheli2 has just knocked up 1000 posts..

Well done Paul..

Yes I think its the price of the spares that will make it really flyable and probably a keeper regardless of slightly poorer flight characteristics, the Align sponsered people would never make any comparisons with other models at this stage. My only concern is the frames£££££ but thats about it, anyway you can let us know thanks,,,,,, also are the first factory vids the ones without a canopy.

[raptorheli2]

agreed, the frame prices are a joke but most carbon from east is silly money. someone will make other frames for it i'm sure as per other align helis.

cheers

The frame prices are on a par with the Vibe 90 and Avant Aurora but most everything else is £££'s cheaper by far, if you crash any 90 size heli hard enough to need to replace the frames the 700N will still be around half the cost to repair with everything else that will be needed. Maybe this will be push that drives down the insane cost of spares for some helis - I can but hope!

there are kits available from abroad now, my kit will be flying on sunday all going well as it shipped today. i will post what changes, if any are over the pre production units if i can find out. the gov i'm afraid is not even being taken out the packet, wouldn't trust it as far as i could throw it.

word is be 3 weeks or so before the kits are here....we shall see.

better be worth it as i sold a perfectly good heli to pay for this one.

cheers

Can't fault the align governor, very impressed with it, better than the csm one i had before, and so easy to set up

Will be watching this model with interest am thinking perhaps now I do fancy a 90 machine, looking forward to seeing what the ordinary man thinks of this machine, rather than the Szabo's of this world

[moonmanflyer]

I am going to stick with my synergy that hasen't flown yet for a bit, but if i can't get on with it then the 700 would be my next choice for sure.

major props to align on this one. an unpainted FG canopy is $21.99 or the painted ones with the production kits is $82.99. i'm no align fan but they sure know how to get people onboard.
