Box looks toyish, but oh well, whats on the inside is what matters :)

This is funny!:lolol Everyone is so hard up to get one of these and all anyone can get now are the little crumbs thrown out here and there. I'm waiting for a picture of them on a shipping dock somewhere or in the hold of some cargo ship. I hope you all get them soon, so I can start reading about how great they are. I can see one in my future. Keep the crumbs coming!

It's is pretty funny...anything and everything they can get a hold of related to the 500!

So it appears the GF is the red/blue, and the CF is the yellow/blue?
That's unfortunate. I'd like to get the CF and the red/blue canopy.
Yes. I'm grousing about color choices on an as-yet unavailable heli...

I was also hoping for the red/blue canopy to come with the CF kit. It would look nice sitting next to my 600N with the red/blue canopy...I may just have to have both canopies.

EXACTLY! I don't have the 600N, but put that canopy on my 600E since it a) doesn't say "Nitro" and b) looks awesome. I was thinking how cool it would be to have them match. Again, stupid stuff, but hey. Looks count!

You can always just buy the extra canopy (when it becomes available) for $50.

Obviously I can spend more money to get something I want. Did you see the word "grousing" in my post?

does anyone know if they will come with the silver motor or if it will be black, as that will determine how I accessorize my wiring of it...

I'm pretty sure it will be black with some silver trim just like the 600.

Yeah - and I really wish that I could get the yellow box with the CF, but I guess I'll just have to get the blue one.:lol:
Maybe you can trade with a GF owner:wink:

Maybe someone could spray a custom box and go with some really high end packing material

I think you are all on to something. Those that get the heli before Christmas need to sell their boxes so the rest of us can have it under the tree on Christmas day. Then everyone will have one!

I think I'm going to wait to get my box until Align works out any bugs in the packaging. They'll probably come out with upgraded staples and thicker cardboard in the Spring.

Yeah, I already heard talk of a V2 box on the way with upgraded sideflaps.
I'm really hoping finless gets his box video up before we all receive ours.
I've heard of several people getting paper cuts on the V1 box, hence the recall :)
