Finally getting around to posting this when I recieved my kit (on monday) I was kinda bummed because it had only one purple link and that was in the spare screws bag all the rest were grey. but as I assembled the machine everything was perfect zero slop ball links even the elevator arm holder had zero slop heck the entire head assembly had zero slop with the exception in the area of main rotor housing and feathering shaft but I fixed that with a piece of CF tube and real thin rubber washers joined one with each dampner orings now it has zero slop. also swash was a little stiff (fixed that with heat) and from some of the posts that others had issues of swash seperation well...... I tried to pull it apart to reglue it but had no luck pulling it apart.
So I'm guessing align is no longer putting out kits with purple replacement links only new perfect grey ones so it seems they have addressed a big portion of slop problems and Im impressed by thier devotion to make a great heli
I am a very proud owner of my new T-rex It FLY'S GREAT!!!!!!!!
right out of the box much nicer than my shogun by far.............

Align is doing a kick ass job. I wonder what there motivation is? They could charge 50% more and we would still be jumping up and down,.

The new Links are no longer Purple. They went back to the grey color. So you might have one of the newer kits. Per Andy Yu Aligns Distributor

I bought mine from www.helikraft.com. It's a great pitch guage, I really like it.
Oh yes, BTW Helikraft has the CF blades in stock!!! I just ordered a few... They even have a 12% discount thing going!
zero slop ball links even the elevator arm holder had zero slop
heck the entire head assembly had zero slop with the exception in the area of main rotor housing and feathering shaft but I fixed that with a piece of CF tube and real thin rubber washers joined one with each dampner orings now it has zero slop. also swash was a little stiff (fixed that with heat) and from some of the posts that others had issues of swash seperation well...... I tried to pull it apart to reglue it but had no luck pulling it apart.
