My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Some of you probably are already aware of the changes. I just opened a new kit for project Im working on. I noticed a few changes right from the begining. Locktight comes in a more leak proof bottle. Its also now labeled R48. Blades are now coming with balancing tape and bushings for each set. The Landing gear comes with rubber grubs for the skids. The landing gear also has a mount for an antenna. Also the boom and skids now have a nice imprint on the metal of "AlignRC 3D Hi Pro helicopter" The skids just say "AlignRC". The belt is narrower then before. It must be the newer lower drag design. All the links are gray. There is one dark purple link in the parts bag. The canopy is now opaque. You can read through it if you hold up something behind it. It was hard to capture it with a camera. The flash made everything look white. Im going to start building it tonight. My friend is a no show so far so Im going to start on what I can until I get his help in converting it CCPM. I may just build it up to see how light I can get a stock setup then convert it to CCPM to make it lighter. Here are some pictures of the changes. The R&D dept at Align must all be on some sorta speed? I can hardly keep up with there improvements on an already impressive machine.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		nope its the same mold as before. I have used a hair dryer on all my canopies to move the collar away from the linkages. Its not hard to do. Just take your time with it if you unsure about how much heat it takes. Basically a a few seconds over a few reps and hold it away from the linkage and keep holding it. When it cools it will stay where you put it.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		it must be that some canopys are comeing out of the mould a bit smaller
as it is the L arms when at full pitch that are hitting the canopy evan after cutting off the little lug
i have still not been able to fly mine with the canopy on
when looking at all the problems that have had to be put wright on this heli
it has been nothing but do this or do that to make it fly ok
not any cash to put it wright
but repairs that should have been fixed befor the heli became on sale to the public
yes it flys well

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I just noticed that the balls for the swash plate or made of real metal not plastic. At this rate imagine what we will be getting next year from Align? Probably some all CF version that has CCPM built in and the the whole kit will be $200.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		i bought the new kit as a "deluxe spare parts kit" as someone here described it.. i noticed the same things (but the belt).. although the canopy on my new one is almost transparent (not opaque).

one thing i thought was if align is making some changes now within months and shipping them, will i be jealous of newer kits?

oh well, just like computers right? you buy it and it's out of date already. hehe..

Hehe, so true.

Seems like nearly every week they are bringing out new parts (changes) and upgrades.

Maybe I should have waited a bit longer to get mine and it may have been a totally different Heli.
But mine does have all the new changes mentioned above. Even though I didn't realise it was any differant to the previous version, until I read this.

Whats this, about version 3 or 4 now! And now they also have the version with the metal swashplate (top half is metal).

Cheers, Hayden.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Yeah it is, if you look on the Align website, you'll see that the kit with the new swash is a little more expensive, than the older version kit.

Cheers, Hayden.
