Century hurry up with the 50 Gasser. Competition is coming quick!

I really like the Idea of having a Century 50 Gasser after seeing the pics posted early on. I love all my century machines

Found this in another thread, looks like align is after Century now

I wonder what will come out first?

A 50 Gasser from Century or aligns attempt at a Gasser

Time will tell

Cheers,
Raven

Even if align comes out with theirs first. i would be willing to bet that we would all be flying the Century gassers while the Align guys are busy on the ground fixing all the problems they have

It's easy to find an excuse to do wrong. Hard is not to find an excuse to do right.

I would rather get me a 50. That is just the 90 prototype from the Align site.It's easy to find an excuse to do wrong. Hard is not to find an excuse to do right.

Yss, that is what I thought.

That has been floating about for quite awhile now. Probably to keep the Aign guys waiting, rather then getting something else like the latest Predator Gas NX or the MinAir Spectra G.

I wonder how their test fellows are finding how that frame design handles the larger vibration amplitudes of the Gas engine.

from what i understand, there is enough deflection on those flimsy frames that even the nitro engines are flexing them enough to wreck main gears.

so a gas motor will be much better in the same frame

align does have some weak carbon fiber compared to other heli brands.

I'll keep saving my pennies for the 50 gasser from Century

it should be out by the time I save enough of them

either way I am enjoying my Hawk pro for now and a Raven for when I get bored with the hawk.

I already gave Align enough $

I too would buy the Century, I flew an Align and I didn't like it's head, it's Cyclic was so light it had no feel at all on the Cyclic Stick, IMO why fly a heli that has no feel, I want to feel the heli as it flies threw the loop, I want to feel the heli as it flies threw the air..Jim

I bet i have enough pennies...and nickels, quarters, loonies, and even toonies.

i have been tossing what ever spare change thats in my pocket each day into this jar.... well this is the second jar, the first broke under the weight. the first few years were slow. but when i started to notice how much was there, i started putting more in.

she weighs in at 57 pounds. probably 15 of that is the jar itself.
