  • Align to go all electric ??

    Just heard I rumour that can't possibly be true.

    Align to discontinue nitro - I think not. Has anyone heard anything similar ?

        Someone at the field mentioned it a couple of weeks ago and I ignored it, then it was mentioned again by one of my quadcopter suppliers today.

        I can't find anything to suggest its anything more than a rumour.

                  I doubt it it's true and even if they did stop making new nitro helis I'm sure they'll provide parts for the existing range for quite a long time.

                        Hi

                        I can't say with certainty and can't speak offically on Align's behalf but certainly the demand is increasing for electric so Align are having to devote more of their production time to electrics.
                        I can't see them stopping nitro's any time soon but for sure the market is going flybarless electric, it's the consumers who are driving this so you know who to blame....

                        Cheers

                          Perhaps they are not going to develop the current nitro range any further at the moment, and concerntrate more the lekky side of life. That would seem a more viable option.

                            hehehe i hope not mark ive just bought your nitro off you lol
                            i carnt see them stoping the nitro range maybe work more on the electric side but im sure they will still be doing nitro parts
                            cheers

                              This would not be true, far to many nitro fans still out there still for that to happen!

                              LONG LIVE NITRO!!!!!
