how much is this 500?

Trex 500 around 4XX USD
SJM 500 around 3XX USD

i think if this atom debut with a price tag of 4XX, it will be looking bad.

by the way, some of the cheaper 500 heli can be lower than 300 USD...
also metal head and tail.

Sweet! I've been contemplating the purchase of the T500 myself, but I'd rather stick with Compass. I'm really loving my Knight 50 right now, so it'd be nice to have an affordable electric companion for it whithout having to own another Align! Looking forward to the release! :)

i picked mine up from luke at 3dm. should have some pics and video later in the week.

motor is massive, main gear teeth are nice and big, gear mesh is very easy to adjust. Frames are stiff and strong and its light too.

another great little feature is depending which side of the frames you mount the tail servo you have the choice of standard size tail servo such as 9254 etc or a 9257 or equiv size.

Looking forward to it Ade. Not much to look at on the site, but I suppose it's enough to suffice for now

unfortunately theres been a problem with the shipment to the states.

well.. unfortunately for me anyway, i got the servos in and rx mounted then got a call saying it needs to be sent to the USA for ircha.

so your going to have to wait a bit longer if you want pics from me! sorry guys.
