Align T-REX 600N 700N > Trex 700 myth!

Local hobby shop owners in my area were supposed to recieve their kits last week and nothing as of yet.

Are they only taking care of the big shops first?

I feel like I'm waiting for the Aurora.

Tired of Waiting??? it was only released a couple weeks ago. It took over two years form release to market for the Avant. Dont compare the two please, Align delivers in a timely fashion..

Why is anyone even bothering to wait for the Aurora anymore anyway, its already going to be obsolete by the time it is "coming soon"

Its got to be the all time joke of the hobby.

If they offered me one free tomorrow I would ask for the cash equivalent instead..... imagine trying to get spares

It feels lighter and more responsive.the collective is more responsive also. The 700 tracks nice in foward flight but doesnt have the collective power like the Aurora.

I can appreciate that comparison. I can believe it. There is something to be said for a programmable head. Comparatively the Protos 500 electric heli has a programmable head a little similar to the Aurora (if I may compare) and there is a very distinct feel over other 500 class heli out there, or any other heli for that matter.

However after seeing Steven Gerrard's demo of the Trex700, the cyclic seems to be able to move plenty fast for my taste. Take a look, fella's:

Bobby - have you heard from Joe? I'm hoping mine shows tomorrow.
Is it just me or does that video look like it's been sped up?? Don't get me wrong, the pilots skills are awesome. The video just looks wrong.

A decent pilot could make the Aurora or the TRex 700 look good in flight.

Buy what ever floats your boat!

I will own both so one penis won't be bigger than the other argument .

Both are good helicopters. And the same for the Synergy and Stratus!

That's what I'd think about

I don't have any plans on getting another big heli soon but to quote an earlier post "Why is anyone even bothering to wait for the Aurora anymore anyway, its already going to be obsolete by the time it is "coming soon"

Its got to be the all time joke of the hobby.

If they offered me one free tomorrow I would ask for the cash equivalent instead..... imagine trying to get spares

the spares is what scars me...getting parts for my Freya is hard enough.

I want the red button on my TX like I have with the G3.5 Sim.
