T-Rex 700 Nitro!

June 5, 2008 UPDATE!
The T-Rex 700 is now in full production. The first batch of kits shipped out of the Align Factory in Taiwan a little over a week ago and is now arriving at some hobby shops around the world.

I just returned from the San Diego fun fly where Alan, Jason, Andy and I flew our T-Rex 700’s all weekend. It was an awesome event with great weather and lots of pilots and good friends. I want to thank my buddy Ray Nemovi for his hospitality as well as the event coordinators for such a great time.

The T-Rex 700 is still scheduled to arrive at hobby shops in early June. Pre-production kits are now being shipped to Align reps around the world and production kits will follow.

I had the opportunity to fly a 3 way demo with Jason and Alan. I want to thank Bob “Finless” from helifreak.com from taking video!

Had a great time at the Huntsville fun fly. Jason, Alan and I flew our prototype 700’s there all day Friday and Saturday. Release has been confirmed for early June! I took the liberty to grab a few pictures from the Huntsville fun fly from Sgt Heli and Justin Keaton.

All testing is complete. The T-Rex 700 is now in the early stages of production. Expected release date is early June. I’m really enjoying this heli, it has the fastest cyclic of any 90 size machine I have ever flown. It is also very light with an incredible power-to-weight ratio. Alan Szabo, Jason Krause and I will be flying our 700’s in Huntsville, AL this coming weekend.

Alex, the owner of Align brought the first built T-Rex 700 to the Vegas Fun Fly and Competition last week. Jason and I got a chance to “play with it” for the first time. Minor changes are already scheduled to be made and testing will begin very shortly. The general public also got a chance to see the machine on Saturday.

Please visit The T-Rex Forums for more information as well as the latest information directly from the factory!

Jan 30, 2008 - The T-Rex 700 nitro is coming very soon! Jason Krause has just finished the design and prototypes are being built at this time. Testing will begin in Taiwan in early April. I’m particularly very excited about this project; I haven’t flown a 90 size machine since June of last year; I’m looking forward to testing and flying this new 90 size machine as well as compete with it at XFC 2008!

GAUI Hurricane 200

Thanks to Jack and Ray from Empire R/C, I now have a GAUI Hurricane 200. This is an awesome little machine, it is the smallest helicopter currently in production that is capable of full 3D. It can handle all the maneuvers you can throw at it and can be flown indoors or outdoors even with some wind!
