Are there any rumors floating around yet of Align developing an all new 600? They successfully solved many of the 600's design problems when they build the 700. It's about time they take those solutions back to the 600 and provide a refresh. The 600 is now align's oldest design in their fleet. The 250, 450, and 700 are all newer or have been recently redesigned.

I know Align is working on a FBL unit. I would think the timing would be perfect if they released an all-new 600, redesigned from the ground up, to be their first flag-ship FBL bird.

I'm asking purely for selfish reasons. I already have all of the other Align birds, the 600 size is the only one missing from my fleet. I'm hesitant to purchase a new 600 now since the design is becoming a bit dated.

Wouldn't a redesigned 600, with a brand new Align FBL unit be awesome?!

Missed ya yesterday, I did meet your dad and brother. Cool helis!!

I feel theres room for improvemnet with the ESP but I dont know how much more they could change without getting away from a traditional align build.

I think when they made the 600e they were on a winner. I stick a TT and a FBL and a aftermarket motor and ESC and the ESP really doesnt outshine the E. A new improved align would probably have bolt on parts with a direct swap to there older birds as well.

I have heard about the FBL rumor as well. Then the question is will you want to keep the align electronics.

Atleast they have improved on some of there stuff like the gp750 which has been a improvement over there past failures.

At this point even with a new release i would want to watch and hear reports before I jumped in the pan. I think im attached to my old 600E :roll:

I like the 600ESP. It's pretty much sex on skids, LOL!

Now that I've got 450 Pro, I'm basically in Align heaven.
