Projects Align E1

[fran11784]

Back in 2018 Align released an agricultural helicopter for crop dusting and heavy lifting. That kit was over 10k because it was fully automated and could pretty much fly itself. They recently released a bare bones kit for people like me who just want a big RC helicopter to play with. When I heard this, I had to have one. This thing swings 900mm blades. Over 78 inch main rotor span. Capable of takeoff weight of over 50lbs. I have been waiting six weeks and finally got an email that it has shipped. When I get it, I will do some unboxing photos. Here are some specs:
●Body Length：1587mm
●Body Height：570mm
●Body Width：427mm
●Main Rotor Length：900mm
●Main Rotor Diameter：1986mm
●Tail Rotor Diameter：313mm

What's the end game with it Fran, a sports machine or a major scale project. Either way can't wait to see it.

Probably just fly it, not sure if I would find anything it would fit in, lol. I'd probably have to scratch build....
