Align Scale Fuse. 500E & 500MD

[wingswest328]

I just found these on the align webpage. Appears that prices have not been set otherwise they will give you a penny if you buy one... They say suitable for the 600 nitro but they should work fine on the electrics too.

Same box as the Century Heli bodies, most likely same mold from what I can see. Century has them for $409 in several different paint schemes or unpainted for $169.50.

Looking at the interior woodwork and the window design, that's definitely the Funkey fuselage. It's a great match to the Trex 600. Here's some video:

Problem is, though, with the standard Trex 600 head with underslung flybar, it will hit the top of the fuselage if you over-maneuver or have a rough landing. I'd be curious as to what the instructions say about how to avoid that. I'd definitely suggest going flybarless.

I have a five blade head coming, but so far with the two blade - I find that as long as I give it some forward/left on initial spool up, I have not had the flybar blades come close to the doghouse, even with full aft elevator, as long as I am not in negative pitch mode. I have smacked the doghouse on initial spool up if the flybar was not level and I forgot the forward/left bit. But since I tend to do a very slow scale spin up, has not been a problem and no damage at all. Love the scale turbine sound this produces. And with nav/strobes installed, it is a real crowd magnet.

If the RediHeli posted price is true, this is going to be a screaming deal. Only $87 bucks for the 600E size?? That's 1/4 the price at Century. Of course, it is out of stock..........................
