Pls post the opinions
Are you sure its from Align, if I have correctly corrected your spelling ?

The ESC is surely al Cheapo $10 HobbyKing
The Swash plate is non-metal.
Servos are either Tower-Pro or HXT.
The Frame looks good though.

Are you buying it for yourself or putting it on offer for Indian R/C enthusiast

It would be wise to put the parts list separately, keeping the Align kit items aside from the 'economical' items and give people the right picture. Correct me if the ESC shown in the pic is not the TowePro (I mistaken it for Hobby King) 40A ESC

Notwithstanding it does its job and people frequently use it with Trex-Clones, a person spending lavishly on an original T-Rex would like to use better and more reliable ESC. So putting the Heli Kit alone would also be a good option rather than bundled offer.

Doesn't look like it is from Align... are you sure about that ?  Is it listed on the Align site (http://www.align.com.tw) ?

Hi Anwar,

               Its not from the Align brand,Its made from the same factory where Align products are manufactured.

OOPS! Thats what even Hobby King claims most of their products come from. Unless it is genuinely from Align, its 'Clone'. Few clones have earned rapport among Heli freaks, Likes ones from Hobby King, rest by word of mouth on forums.

Unless your offering is more close towards HK-450 prices (adding shipping + Customs differentials) than genuine Align T-Rex, I doubt it would create much interest, apart from desperate buyers.

Right, Align is in a class of its own.  There are better ones like the Furion, but most of the lower priced clones have some issues (many easily solvable).  Tarot and CopterX seem to have some reputation, from what I can remember.

If you are a seller and really want to stock helis, then stock the proven models of HK or there is a site called leaderhobby. try from there. I dont know the performance/build quality of leaders hobby, but they all get manufactured by the same factory I guess.
