New T-Rex 250 videos with CF blades, insane power?

These are new videos of the T-Rex 250 testing the new Align CF main blades. Several months ago before the T-Rex 250 was even a thought, I released a video of a GAUI EP200 with an upgraded motor, at that time I as truly impressed with the power of that little machine with the after market motor. I am no longer impressed after flying my T-Rex 250 with the new Align CF main blades and the stock motor with 16 tooth pinion. This little heli now has almost more power than I can handle! These blades increased cyclic speed, collective response and there is almost no bog at all any more. If you are addicted to power, get a 16 tooth pinion for your 250 and a set of the new Align 205 “D” blades when they become available, you’ll have all the power you’ll ever want!

New Carbon Fiber Blades for T-Rex 250!

I have been testing the new carbon fiber blades for the T-Rex 250. These blades are awesome, they are so efficient that they increase power drastically on this little heli. They also speed up the cyclic as well as the overall collective response.

These blades will be available very soon. More details can be found at the Align Taiwan web site:

New T-Rex 250 from Align!

UPDATE 11/01/2008: 

T-Rex 250 kits are now shipping to distributors around the world. You can expect T-Rex 250’s to start showing up at hobby shops in the US after November 15. I have now been flying a production version of this little heli for a few days. It is awesome! In stock form it is much more stable than a GAUI 200. It also tracks better and feels like a “bigger” heli in the air.
