Default Best place to buy Align parts?

Hey i'm just looking for a good site with decent prices on Align parts and heli combos, while were at it, what FBL system do you guys recommend for the 500? Thanks!

Aligntrexstore.com has pretty much everything and great prices. Align combos come standard with the beastx now, but another very popular fbl unit is the MSH brain or Ikon-they are the same unit. I have flown both and both work great. The beastx is a lot more plug n play, the brain takes a bit more fiddling and tuning to get it to fly how you would like. That was atleast my experience with them.

Lowerheli is my choice, great prices and super fast shipping. Aligntrex store is my backup. For the FBL, the best value right now if you don't want a clone is the Ikon. You can find clean used units for $60-80 or brand new V1.2 units for $99 new.

Awesome thanks guys, just getting back into the sport after slacking for 2 years. I think I'll sell my 500 and 600 to get a new updated 500. Instead of converting it to fbl

I use Rotorquest most of the time. They are in Toronto and I get a shipment in 2-3 days usually. They have sales on holiday weekends as well.

Agreed. They've been great for me.

I had some trouble with an ikon trying to make adjustments at the field using an iOS device. I haven't tried since the last update, though. Other than that, both of these units are excellent for the price.

Back to the hobby after a few years away.....Helidirect.com still seems to be a good choice. And their shipping fees are some of the most reasonable.
