Ok, I couldn't leave my Flying Giants crew out of the loop. Align is getting to release the latest addition to their heli family. The T-REX 500!! We are so excited about this machine! It is what may be the perfect size, it is big enough to easily see and be incredibly stable. Yet, small enough to still fly in your backyard or local park. Jason Krause and Alan Szabo are working very hard and long days at the moment to finalize all the testing. The pictures you see are prototypes and are subject to change, but I can tell you that we expect the following: 425-450mm Blades 4S-6S Lipo mini servos Have Fun! Kyna |
