More Align T-Rex 250 Photos

This thing is getting close and close to test flights…at the rate Align is going, there might be a chance of seeing this in hobby shops before Christmas, of course, that is just my speculation.

Size comparsion of the rotor head and tail rotor and boom with the 700N swashplate.

This is really a tiny, pocket sized heli. From the looks of it, its going to be even much smaller than a 450 or even a Esky king 2. Definately going to be a good living room/ sheltered carpark companion for the rainy days. Only question now will be the price. Is it going to be as expensive as a Guai 100/200?
