[timmmy]

is there any bad points or parts that i shud upgrade straight away?
i dont need the carbon frames and kinda like belt drive so im thinking i dont need the pro so i mite go with the sport.
im gonna replace my raptor 30 so im sure it will fly loads better.
so shud i go buy one tmrw?

Leeds Models have got the 600 Pro version in stock at a very healthy price..

I was in there today and saw at least 3 boxes of the Pro version stacked up..


Linky here..

cheers buster,i was supposed to go get a 401 wasnt i,and decided to change the whole heli i thought about the pro but i just cant see why i need it could get the hyper and sport and im nearly there
doesnt look like leeds do the sport i was gonna go over to fast lad,looking at other posts it doesnt look like id notice the difference between the two,but im sure i will between them and the raptor,unless theres any problems with the sports?

I would think twice about buying the Align 600N.
Thats gonna start a bun fight but I dont care
Go & buy a Knight Sport is the only advice I can offer & save your self some money.
I've had an align 600E I've had a Raptor 30 & the 50se all of them left me wanting one of them left me pennyless.
I've just bought myself a Knight Sport 50 & wish I had done this 6 months ago cause I've wasted a lot of money buying Raptors & Align Helis that I now want to sell
It's the best sport 50 size Heli out there & it's only £169.99
It is far more acurate than your Raptor.
I am amazed just how stable it is in the hover.
Yet get it moving about the sky & it just laps up everything a novice pilot can throw at it & just begs you for more it realy is that different to fly compared to the Raptor family different in a good way for once to.
My setup is very basic, it has £20 CCPM servos an OS Hyper, Zimmerman muffler & a GY502 9254 gyro tail servo combo.
Throttle servo is a 3001.
I am not running any special electronics to rid it of design faults.
I am not running a carbsmart or a Govenor.
I also dont have to run a lipo powered regulator or a DCUP to power all the things that are not on this Heli.
I run a 4 cell pack of Nim cells & the voltage never gets so low that the spectrum rx drops out.
I have gone back to basics & done away with all the complexity everyone tells me I must have on a modern day RC Helicopter yet this Heli still manages to fly so sweetly.
It is hard to believe this heli has cost me so little you certainly could not tell once it is in the air doing it's thing.

no real bad points just different peoples views yes there are issues as there is with all of them. ive got to be honest im no fan of knight's all of the new helis will fly great if you can set a heli up. if you cant they all fly like a bag of poo.

I have the 600n....

They have solved the fan issue so theres no reason not to buy one.

I doubt there perfect (someone always jumps for the bad points) but I would have one again. They are as good as any other Top 50 size machine out there
right now. All have slight issues (inc knights)

I can say they will take a knock very well and they are cheap to fix.. 2 booms are 8 pounds, 2 spindles 5 pounds.... Buying for a crash you'll have the parts for another crash. There cheap to fix and take a smack really really well.

All I say is get some good tail blades NHP Carbons would be good (ones in kit yuk) decent carbon main blades (T.T 600s would do the job). Get some decent dampners for it as well.

Leamington hobby centre have the 600n at 199 pounds at the moment.

i was goin to go for a knight i missed one on flea bay last night by ten squid,but realy for some reason i think i want the t rex dunno why im well happy with my 450 se and i just like the look of em,i mean i can fly my raptor im not un happy with it, just its a little underpowered for me now and so on, so i was just gonna buy the kit and build it up over the next few months i love it in phoenix and if it flys better than my raptor and theres no big issues with it and i dont need the carbon etc then the sport shud suit me fine
thanks for the knight info tho iv been trawling through loads for a while and for sum reason im always drawn back to this one

I have the T-Rex 600E CF not the nitro mate.

Anytime you want to see it fly pop round, You know where I am.

[Ade_Law]

i would say this... but im gonna say it anyway

I have owned 600n

I have owned a knight 50 sport

and now fly a knight 3d.

the sport is a great beginer to upper intermidiate model no upgrades required it flies better and is stronger.

i have had a knight sport one of the first ones and i will be honest it is a superb heli i gave it loads of stick regually with out fault its very stable and will bring you along right through to 3d mouves without braking the bank good choice of helis dont get taken in by the bling look of the trex...

Out of the models I've owned and sold my biggest regret is selling my Knight sport.

Great rag around model.

I got around the "not having a Sport" problem by nicking the Wife's and giving her my Rappy

Well I have both Knight sport and T Rex 600n sport... Both great heli's.. Knight cheap to buy.. but spares dearer than the rex 600.... When I bury the knight in the dirt.. that's it.. goodbye knight and welcome a second Rex.. the build quality is A+ and spares easy to get and Align.. just know how to get money out of my pockets.. just canopies alone .. there are so many choices and Knight (sorry Ade) just one
