    It's a good job it isn't torque tube driven, as what would the price be then?
    Nothing wrong with belt drives.....

      It does so it wont slip over - see the manual -

        I'm not saying there is anything wrong with belt driven helis. What I am saying is that for it should be torque tube driven for £339 as it is very expensive compared to other helis in the 500 class.

            I have to say, just looking at the manual it looks a very well designed heli and it's good to see it's not a copy.

            Price wise it might be a little more expensive than some but I would like to see one first and to judge the quality for myself and being belt driven on the tail would cause no concern for me at all. Yes I prefer TT but the belts on the logo's are trouble free and I bet no one could tell the difference between the tail on my 600se or my srimok.

            But I would prob pay £60 more and get a 600EFL pro kit only

                Just had a look at a couple of parts.
                X-Tron main gear £14.39 each, T-Rex 500 main gear £7.84 for two!.
                Main shaft for X-Tron £15.58 for two, T-Rex 500 main shaft £7.16 for two.
                X-Tron tail boom £10.79 for two, T-Rex 500 £7.62 for two.

                So without going through all the parts list, they don't seem comparable to Align at all.

                  Admire a manufacturer opening themselves up for such critisum. But, tbh at the end of the day. Align still produce the best 500 in the Market today. Enjoyed mine so much, I invested in a 600le to keep it company.

                    I'm sure i will be corrected if i am wrong but the op is not the manufacturer but the UK distributor Rossendale Models

                    Glad you like the Align 500...but i think the Atom500 is a cracking machine. So much in fact i have it's bigger brother the 6HV

                      Well It's good to see another 500 heli on the market but as everyone has said, it's a bit on the expensive side.. obviously if the quality is above and beyond then it's worth it to some!
                      In my opinion a great selling point that the Compass Atom has done well with is having the ability to run bigger blades by offering a stretch kit... might be worth consideering lol
