Oh I am definitely in now. I have been holding off on buying 450 packs for this very reason. I am thinking 3s 2500's. I would have loved to see the balance with those packs on the heli. Crossing my fingers it's released before Christmas, where do I get in line. Real nice video Bob......... much appreciated ! Thanks to Andy too !

Wish they would lower the price and ship it with no packs........ gotta' go FP.

rcasey212 · 11-09-2007, 10:37 AM

Yes, I will definitely be buying one of these as soon as it is released! Thanks for the excellent journalism, Bob.

Finless · 11-09-2007, 10:43 AM

DANG IT!!!

I left my 450 at Andy's shop and have to go back to get it.

Anyone want me to ask anything I may have missed about the 450?

Bob

As far as i know, Align is making everything they can for you, american people, to have it under the christmas tree. A war is able to start between those that got one in time and all the others...

Nah, I think we're all good on the 450.

J/K - How about a metal tail case upgrade option? Or does the canopy come in plain white for those that want to paint it themselves?

Finless · 11-09-2007, 11:57 AM

Sorry I meant the 500..... but too late I am heading out to go get my 450.

Hi Bob.

Just wondering if you can charge the two packs separately 3s. IE two chargers or one charger on pack at a time.

Downloading the video now. (It will take me more than one Menut to download, Dial up is all I have

)

Bryce.

WillJames · 11-09-2007, 12:46 PM

500 size is a great size!! Very cool to use your 450 packs in pairs and get that much time. Awesome!!

Thanks for the video Bob!! Yea Baby!!

BruceW · 11-09-2007, 01:04 PM

Yep, the quoted times and performance from the T500 testing are definitely much better than what was being speculated before the prototype was flown. It sounds like you can't compare it to the Lepton even though it runs similar blade sizes.

JBuck · 11-09-2007, 03:57 PM

Any word on pricing?

StatiC · 11-09-2007, 04:25 PM

ESC under the battery tray right behind the battery seems like a hot place to put it. Does the air flow through that part of the heli? If it catches fire you wouldn't be able to remove it quickly either

zsultan · 11-09-2007, 06:24 PM

Bob,

Any idea how TRex 500 would perform compared to a 600? and also a picture that compares 450, 500, 600 Helis size will be awesome.

Thanks for the video.

glucoseboy · 11-09-2007, 06:45 PM

Thanks Bob, That was a great interview. (nice camera work too, very smooth)

Can't wait to get one of these!

rcboosted · 11-09-2007, 06:50 PM

I'd like to know how many teeth the main gear will have.

This is gonna be a big deal topic on the 500 with so many people tryng to use their 3s packs.

BIRDBRAIN · 11-09-2007, 07:25 PM

wow!! too cool... but with all those helis available, i didn't see a side by side by side comparison (450-500-600) that would have been very telling. but i know will all the excitement it would have slipped my mind aswell. thanks Bob your the man, as you can see everyone appriciates it and this hobby would be less without you.

Finless · 11-09-2007, 07:48 PM

Andy and I went flying today with it!!!!!! I will have video up of it flying here at my park tomorrow AM along with video showing it's size next to a 450 and 600!!!!

Bob
