People want fuselages, for their Heli's, at Align's price point. Because, not only does it look better than the pod & boom, they present a better orientation presence! Don't be a hater, makes you look foolish!

Ahhhh, $240 for a canopy and boom cover?
I paid $150 for a canopy and boom for my Goblin, the Goblin boom was made from carbon fiber. The goblin has upper class about it. WTF does Align think we are smoking? Last edited by trollycamber; 06-10-2014 at 10:54 PM.. |

Kinda wish they would sell just the boom cover without the canopy. I prefer to fly my 700e without the lid and high visibility tail would be a plus without risking the whole $250 in bling.

with the right canopy i find my helis beautiful enough. putting on a $240 dress would make no sense to me. i personally like the pod and boom looks and i think that's how a 3d heli should look.

Agree with the above, I do like the look of the new fuse but I like my 700 Pro DFC as it is. The only heli I like with a fuse is the F3C which I have and the BlackShark fuse.

I agree the price is too high. There really is nothing about it that is worth much more than about 150 bucks.
90 for the canopy, 40 for the boom cover, and 20 for the fin blade holder and hardware... I thought I read that they (Align) were going to make these for everything from 250 -800?

You didn't see the align fuselage. The boom is entirely in carbon. the canopy has magnet to lock. And the quality is really better than the goblin canopy and boom. Perhaps the price is expensive for the boom and canopy but we can talk about the price of the kit.....how much to fly with a G700 and how much to fly with a T700 DFC HV super combo.....Hum...perhaps it's sab wich have a big smoke

Thanks derailleur, I glad you brought up another point, that is, comparing apples to oranges.
Better example is Mclaren VS. Hyundai, Its hard to justify spending $5000 on factory body kit for Hyundaiwhen a body kit for a Mclaren F1 can be had for just a little more. |

you can't tell that because with a hyundai you can't drive like a mac laren. But with a T700 you can fly like a G700 with funnels, hurricanes etc......I have GAUI X3, X5 and T700 DFC HV...Honestly I didn't see any difference between the GAUI quality and the align quality (for my T700)..Honestly I think that the T700 DFC HV performances are OK for 99% of the pilots..I don't think that the Goblin double price have any justification...But I am OK that the goblin is a fantastic heli and the pleasure have no price...I am not a very good pilot and my T700 DFC HV is enought for me and the fly qualities are great...Like all the 700 class...The fuselage is expensive but the quality is awesome..

Goblins is not comparable to Maclarens as Trex 700 are not like Hundays. Trex 700 is a great machine, very well designed and machined. The only part I dislike is the dfc head, but it is just me that doesn’t like dfc. Align now provides the non-dfc head. If you run your dream Goblin electronics on a Trex700 Dfc (or the opposite), and have a fair and just approach, you’ll see that Trex are just wonderful. |

Pro pilots that are forced to pay for their own flying choose Align, go figure that one out

Thanks - I noticed you're in the UK as well. the speed 700 fuse I have seen is £129 which is tempting!
I have not crashed since....early spring this year! and even that, I managed to auto it down safe but during my panic, I flicked out of throttle hold and the blade whacked my tailboom resulting in a slight dent and broken main blade hold arms. that's all the damage. even blades were ok. |

Speed Fuselage - cracking/splitting canopy
I like my 700L dressed in the speed fuselage. With about 15 flights on it the canopy started to split. No hard 3d - I am a sport flyer. I have seen another one doing the same thing in the same place. I have fiberglassed mine and added some left over Goblin combing from my 630 around the top - the speed fuse was also getting beat up and chipped by the head as you put it on. It seems too light and thin in that area.
