if the 700 is like all the other align products, i'll be getting one :D

Same here. I'm itching to get details....

I'm hoping it will be a lot more than an "enlarged" 600N. I'm guessing it won't be, as this is going to be their flagship model I'd guess.

i'd like to see a few improvements.. such as adjustable phasing, metal main and tail rotor grips, 2 radial and 1 thrust bearing per TR grip, metal fan, carbon fibre tail pushrod, 10mm hollow main shaft, adjustable gearing, and possibly some adjustable delta and mixing ratio's on the head all as standard. i believe that would help the heli compete with the "big dogs" in the heli world

well,
Jason is working on it. so, it will be interesting to see what he comes up with. as far as it goes

Most of my club friends keep telling me that .90's are fuel hogs and I'm better off sticking with my 600N. I'm sure it'll still lay down some serious smack though.

The 500N sounds interesting too. This is the first I've heard of it.

That's true - .90 heli's suck fuel up much faster than the 600N. Forget your nice long flight times!

In air fuelling anybody :lol:

[mewsikman]

yea they are abit juicy, most of the guys that I fly with say better sticking off with a 50

I still get 9 minutes of flying on my Avant FX w/ the YS91SR and hatori combo and thats running a very rich mixture setting.. but it does use about 30% more fuel in the process
