thats a sweet looking heli, but I wish they would team up with someone like Spirit, or Ikon and provide those in their kits, although I love the BeastX still it feels like a step back on forward moving developments in their heli's.
Their "new advancements" are minimal too. Canopy design and such are so Align from the day. Although I am a traditionalist at heart, I really think they need to step up with a more modern look to em, possibly sleeker look or something I guess. with newer canopy design. The majority of people buying these helis will never fly them Pro like, i understand the promotion of Pro's flying them, and the competition of bragging rights, but the visual appeal to the masses has a lot to do with it also I think.
Sure the people average Joe who are able to fly them close to the level of pro's out there can appreciate certain developments and flight behavior, but most will never including those who fly close to the pro's will never know the difference.....those people are truly a class alone. So it goes back to new looks, and cool factors. As much as I love Aligns, their helis don't seem to change much, as do the others. Not until either design staff gets an out of the box vision, or some other new heli maker comes out with some revolutionary designs with looks and appeal to the masses does it change....the ones unwilling to change fall by the wayside, and become memories....finally quality of parts yes has a lot to do with things also, durability how well built the heli is.
They can make these helis better and better yes, but after a while people keep seeing the same thing as far as looking at it, they get bored with it. I just think Align needs to advance their look now.....Still this is a cool heli, but I am a traditionalist too....not everyone is.....
