Mint condition Align Trex SE V2 (all metal head/tail/carbon fiber frame and fins) - assembled, test flown once, less than 10 seconds air time! After putting the money and time in (my 1st bird), I realized I couldn't handle seeing this beauty wrecked by a newb like me - so I got a 450x and have flown/upgraded that since. I was hoping I could hold on to the V2 until I was ready for it - but I'm basically getting layed off a month before Christmas. Isn't that swell! :(

Assembled 450SE V2 (real deal), Futaba GY401, Futaba 9650 on tail, *2* Hitec HS65mgs, AR7000 RX

Does not include: the Align battery (guess why?), Align carry case, DX7 controller (if you don't want to use a DX7 for this bird, I'll take another $75 off the price and remove the installed AR7000 receiver.)

Also: Needs 1 65mg to complete other 2 in cyclic (removed one for my crash and learn bird - this V2 for sale has NEVER wrecked.)

I also have added blue Medusa wrap-a-around heat sink on the 430xl ($6.50 value) already attached with artic silver. Gorilla landing gear! (orignal, full set with skids also included.) Faux carbon fiber paddles (originals included), set of Align tools (screw-drivers and hex wrenches), `Screw Parts` bag of extra screws and things. (Parts bag was opened, only a screw or two taken out.) To the best of my knowledge (sorry, bad memory), but I'm pretty sure the tail fins are the Gorilla tail fins. I'll also include the Align pro 315 blades that are on the bird in the picture. ($13) Also, Align pitch guage, a set of male and female deans connectors, and swash leveler.

I added a sturdier tail servo control arm rather than the flimsy wire included with kit. Much better, it's just like what I use on the bird I fly.

This 450SE v2 has been in the air for less than 10 seconds! Only wear is slight scuff on bottom of landing gear from reversed gyro when I first tested. That, and a little bit of dust from sitting on the shelf. :(

She is MINT, never crashed or even tipped over on a spool up, with the original V2 canopy and the original carbon fiber blades, manual. I can even send the original box it came in if you want!

If you want a basic Align lipo balance/charger:

I can include this one for $30 - I paid $40. I still want it for a second charger, but I've got a BC6 for a primary and I need the money more than a second charger. :( Charger has been used no more than three times.

$700 + $15 for shipping
$625 + $15 if you don't want the AR7000
(PM me if you want to make an offer - I might be swayed as time runs out.)

Paypal only - or local pick-up, cash only (minus shiping), I'm a couple miles away from Discount Hobby Warehouse (in no way affiliated) in San Diego, California.

I've got really good foam to pad up (in picture, it looks yellow and old but I bought if for my bird's carry case
and have plenty. The tail/boom will most likely have to be taken off, but she'll be shipped with loving care.

I want to make clear - some may know I have videos on youTube. Of me frequently crashing. That is not the bird I'm trying to pass off here - I can prove it if anyone doubts me...

To Australia, with insurance, $75. But I'd like to hear what you'd expect pay `cause looking for online shipping and insurance costs isn't something I'm familiar with... ?!?!?!

hi mate postage seems to be around 40-60 bucks so you are in the ball park. unfortunately it prices it right up there for me so i'll have a think about it anyway. just for interest in your add is the 720$ offer include both the transmitter and the receiver.
cheers brendan

Hey Bud let us know when you start entertaining offers. With all due respect you could put that cart together at readyheli for about $700 (minus rx) but that includes the battery, case, and free shipping. I know you said 10secs but brand new is brand new!

Better off in PM bro! I'd rather not muck up my add with this.. but here's what I get from readyheli, not to mention the se v2 black is out of stock, and don't offer Gorilla gear (ASFAIK)

readyheli:
kit - 440
401 - 130
9650 - 50
2 65mg - 72
rx - 100
gorilla gear - 30

$840 total (with free shipping, you did have that part right)

Sorry bud, your right prob better off in PM. Not sure if this place lets you mod your FS threads or not but feel free to delete.

Actually on readyheli the v2 kit is 399...add to cart to get that price. It is in stock also and they do carry gorrilla gear. I mentioned in the above post that I wasnt including the receiver.
I did make a mistake however in that I didnt realize you had MG's.. I came up with that price using karbonites. Thats a difference of 20 bucks.

Soo:

v2 kit: 400
401: 130
9650: 50
65mg's: 72
gor gear: 30
swash leveler, blades, pitch guage, etc: 30

Total $712

Thats how I came up with the 700 figure.

Wait - forgot the AR7000 in your price - which is 100 on readyheli, or ebay you can Buy Now's for 79.

Ok - price reduced. PM issue aside - I do appreciate the honesty and help being realistic. I based it off what I payed, and compared to froogle/ebay prices...

I guess I figured my build and tail mod (solid rod instead of thin wire included) were worth a little something! :P Some people do pay to have them built for them. :)

Brendan13 - NO transmitter. RX is included. And price is now 700 (625 without AR7000 RX), and for you in Australia, I'll say $55 for shipping, WITH insurance.

Thanks - it was f'ing stressful the last month or so...

I haven't gotten a monitary promotion - but a technical one. I'm going to have to crack open some books and start busting some ass(brain really), but my resume is going to be demanding a big pay increase when I make it through the year. :) .Net and C# here I come... hopefully all the drinking over the years hasn't trashed my brain too much. heheh...

Best part is I'm keeping my V2 and still going to be able to get the lady, and family, gifts! Big relief...

Thanks to everyone who showed support or interest though!
