| I'd say they are the same. I saw one being touted in one booth and then several others at the MA booth at IRCHA. They do look like a very well built heli. The machining looks very nice and MA was quoting "about $300" less motor and ESC. If it flies as well as an SE, Align is going to have to lower their SE price to compete with it. The only thing I noticed that didn't look too good was the tail box had to be distorted quite a bit to clamp onto the boom, but that would be a minor program or tool change during machining. The ones at MA had heavy, but decent looking glass canopies.
