Its much better than the Avant I think as well.

How do you figure? I'm not taking anything away from the 700, but how in the world can you make this comparison? Just curious...

Not taking anything away from Align, but let's see if they hold up as long as a minair extreme.

yeah right

any day of the week. Its going to be one of the best helis out there. Every one will be trying to keep up. The Avant is 3 years OLD now and just came out. The 700 is all new and looks a lot like the Avant. I am sure they are close but you wait and see. A lot of the top pilots will be flying Align. Quality and affordable for sure. You can not dis the 700 unless you are upset that is that simple. It is what it is and Align has done it and done it big with this one. There is not 1 thing wrong with it. The desighn is great and I am sure it will performer at the most top quality. It will fly as good or better that its more costly brothers that you can count you. You wait and see. every one will want a 700 unless you are a die hard one kinda guy then no you will diss it and say it sucks only because you are mad there is a better machine than what you have but you are to scared to leave your old company. You wait and see. You can see now it flies flawlessly.

Where can I see that? Again, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the 700, I'll probably buy one. But to say it is better than anything else before it's even available seems a little crazy.

OK

Sad are you. what word is spelled wrong there spell checker???? Dont be mad your costly heli will not compare to a 700. I am not trying to start anything its just I am tired of every one bashing the 700 when deep down inside they know its going to be one of the best and most cost officiant way to go. I can crash the 700 4 times and still not cost as much as your MA to fix. Its that simple. This is one case where the term you get what you pay for dose not count. This bird is as good or better that machines 2x its price range. and to be so cheap to fix. Come on who can resist. That is what Align is all about. Giving us a GREAT heli for a cheap as possible. That is the bottom line. You just cant beat it for the price. And you can not beat it with more money. You can get close or as good. But you will need to be one of the best pilots in the world to tell. That is it. Tell me I am wrong?? I know I am right for sure. No doubt. Its just 1 Model guys hate to see a better bird or as good for so cheap. It makes them feel like they got ripped off. I am not trying to start any thing but every one has to say the 700 is one nice heli and flies perfect. And the cost for a 90. Its cheaper than a 90SE. Cant beat that

Nope

No battle. Just speaking my mind thats all. I am tired of all the N9 owners and MA owners and Avant owners talking bad about the 700 when they know its one of the best. I am not saying its better but I am saying for sure its just as good and yeah better than some. Thanks all

Settle down. I agree the cost is attractive, I will probably have one also. I have been flying Minair for years. They are like an old Harleys, They keep on going and are very stable. I am going to wait to see what the new MINAIR 90 looks like, but they are very secretive about it. I have three Trex 600s they are cheap to fix and do fly well. But I like the stable flight of the Xcel.

Am I missing something here? How many people here own a 700n at the current time so they could determine how "perfect" it flies? And the only "perfect" flying heli in my opinion is the one that will NEVER crash. If that's the case I'll take 2 700n's, lol.

Let your flying do the talking - don't talk about your flying

I am saying

Only from videos right now. If it flies like it looks and anything like the 600 which it can only be better than that is what I am going off of. I will have mine Thursday and we will see. all questions will be answered then or when a lot more have them. I am sure just about every one has seen it fly either at a FF or online. That is one way to see what it will and can do. That is all I am saying. I guess time will tell that is all. And yes the perfect heli is the one that never can crash. That is good.LOL But lets be real. I am sure a lot of people will be adding one to there fleet. They are so cheap and easy looking to fix so why not?

Videos

I agress, the vids look real good but you need to remember one thing. Everyone of those helis flown in the vids is being flown by a pro. They could take any heli and make it look good. I think it will be a nice heli and I have one on order but its a far stretch to call it "perfect" or "flawless" or even "better than MA" until the general public has it in hands for a while.

DONT go off PROS flying in videos. They can make a blade CX look good. REAL world test is where problems show up. I have been flying ALIGN for 3 years now and the Quality is hit or miss. Please dont be a cheerleader for Align with me. There QC is barely up to par with the 600N, especially with replacement parts. Lets see what kind of bearing and ball links they put on the 700, cause they sure do wear out FAST on the 600, or if every single TT is straight even replacement ones. 200 flights and I have replaced all bearings and links 3 times now. And yes I do have an N9, So what, it doesn't mean I dont fly Align.

BTW, just so you know I practice what I preach, my 700 will be in my hands on Tuesday. And just like the 600 it will get a proper beating, and if anything is bent or screwed up like the first round of 600s you will be the first to know. And remember, most 700 that are out there are NOT production helis. Meaning production line steps up production and QC goes out the window..

THERE is NO such thing as a flawless or perfect heli...

The main problem I see, is the HARDCORE Align cheerleaders getting 90s before they are really ready. They are going to get them simply because it says TREX on the side. My guess we will see ALOT of them asking repair and set up questions rather quickly...

First thing I did with my 600 is replace all the bearings, I hope that the frames are thicker than they are in the 600's

setting up a 700 is about the same as the 600, it is a very easy kit to build. As far as quality everything in the kit went together perfect, i would say it was better than my synergy on how the kit went together and flies very similar. You guys will enjoy this kit.

OK

OK I may say a little much about it. and yes no heli is perfect. I am just tired of every one bashing Align just because its quality for cheap thats all. So yes you are very right for sure and I am not cheer leading just sick of all the jealous people out there and bad mouthing it. So yes you are right but it is still one bad a$$ machine for dirt cheap and will be one mean heli. I have had no problems with any of my 600's of 450. Maybe just me. any ways Who Loves it? and mine is ordered. I am getting it very soon. all paid for. I was suppose to hear something about it today but did not call and no e-mail. any ways it will come very soon
