Pretty interesting video. Align looks to be improving user friendliness. Can't wait to see one in person. Thanks for sharing Kyna.

Bob is right! You don't normally see the developer of a heli showing off the prototype and detailing its features. Thank you. :noteworthy:noteworthy:clappp

Thanks Kyna for sharing this with us. It is obvious that Jason is listening to the users on the minor issues with the past align helis to make this one the elite.:thumbup: Great job and I can't wait to get one. This will be my first nitro, but the design on this heli makes me very comfortable in the transition.

thanks,
Ken

I would to see a 25mm boom on it. Outside that cool.

It looks like a really nice machine. However, I'd have to get considerably more advanced in my flying before getting one of these, mainly because of the lack of a belt option. I'm jaded by all the expense and labor involved when replacing parts after bending the boom with a torque tube driven tail.

Thanks. I enjoyed that a lot.

Look forward to getting one to go with the rest of my nitro helis.

Kyna thanks for sharing that :noteworthy unfortunately Jason didn't touch on the fuel tank..I was wondering if they are going to a more squared shape this time and not the odd shape that the 600 has ?

Very cool to see that. Nice to see the thoughts of why things were done the way they were. Thanks for sharing!

SO FAR SO GOOD !!!....My only gripe?

Wish they would not use the 600 landing gear! They look way too small!.... And lets hope the Canopy looks better painted! Just my opinion

I agree.

I think he's being lazy on that issue?

Fully loaded I think the gear being too small will be evident. Might as well get on it and make some bigger stuff.

Man, Jason hit it on the head when the 90 crowd is tired of fixing for 2 weeks when we put them in. When I crash my fury, It's 15 hours to fix. I will buy one for just that aspect of it.

I hope the changes that they are making to the 90, they make to the 600 as far as what he thought was a pain to deal with. IE putting servos in and out, and the tail case assembly.ect

Great video. I really enjoyed it.

Why no header tank? Not really needed but nice to have for safety and extra flight time reasons.

I hope that the suggestions are taken as positive stuff. :)

Can't wait!! I am extremely excited to see the 700 come from Align. This ship will be the perfect compliment to an already great product line. I will own a few :).

Let's see the video.

Why would making the frame sides further apart make the frame stronger?
Is Jason Krause a mechanical engineer?
