Ok The over the lake video was uploaded this week. The other video was uploaded 3/21/12. Now Alan Szabo Jr. is one of the test piolets for Align. I would think he has the latest and greatest helis long before you or I even hear of them. What makes it A V1?

Alright, enough thinking!!! The kit linked in the first post is on it's way here. If this one doesn't work out, I'm giving up on heli's for good hahaha. I don't think I will see any issues with this kit. Just need to make sure to stock up on gear sets for the tail. I may put on some cheap blades so I don't kill these lmao. They look too purdy!!! Thoughts?

You don't want video? I can make that happen
I'm sure I will love this heli. I have flown one Align in my life, and I wanted to just unleash on it when I was doing the hover test for the guy I was working on it for. But, I had to hold myself back and just hover to prove it was stable then land it and ship it back to him. If this 3GX is even remotely close to the stability of that Sport v2, I won't have any issues with this one. Maybe I will be able to push my self a little farther now that I don't have to worry about what the cyclic and tail is going to do lol. Before it was a nightmare trying to keep that tail holding. Lets just hope this one is better.
What one are you wanting?

As you know I have been drooling over the Protos mini and for a while before that I was drooling over the x-cell furion 450. I had to do a lot of thinking of cost and electronics for the heli. My whole reason for upgrading my electronics now is for the near future purchase of one of these two helis.
The biggest factor for me was the ESC and motor combo. So now I am back to the Furion. I was able to get all the electronics to work on the EXI so I can get a close feeling for them before using them on the more expensive model. In order to build the Protos mini you are almost forced into their motor and esc. I have not found many motors for 450 sized helis that come with a 3.5 gear shaft and theirs does. So finding a pinion to mate up would be slow going but doable.
In the end the I chose the Scorpion motor and esc as the work horse for the model and after further review watching and parts surfing the Furion is what I decided on. Now this could change yet again, but I am set on it. I have been reading the manual and most of the setup is similar to the T-rex, as far as the linkages go. By no means are the the same. One plus for the Furion is that it is USA made.

The guy i heard this from is a pro pilot. He had issues with stripping gears, but after boiling them, he hasn't stripped one since.
