T-Rex Helicopter Review

The T-Rex is a radio controlled helicopter created by a Taiwanese company called “Align”. It comes in sizes ranging from very small to large. The first model that was released by Align was the T-Rex 450, (currently the second smallest) with the main rotor blade measuring at a span of 315 mm. This was followed by the T-Rex 450 Xl which had a rotor span of 325mm. There are eight models in the 450 range, and each subsequent model has a slight modification on the former version.

The smallest helicopter is the T-Rex 250. Because of its light flying weight (weight of 330g) this helicopter is capable of executing extreme maneuvers such as flying upside down. A word of caution when flying; don’t fly too far out because of their small size they may be hard to spot.

With a blade span of 425mm the T-Rex 500 comes next in line. It comes in two forms; a carbon fiber and in a G10 version. Due to its 1700g flying weight it has more hovering stability than the 450 version with a flight pattern close to the T –Rex 600 model. This version is suitable for people who are new to flying, the only draw back being it’s vulnerable in winds over 10mph.

The T-Rex 600 is a full sized electric helicopter, which comes in an aluminum and carbon fiber. Its larger size ensures stability even in winds over 10mps. T-Rex 600 nitro as it’s name suggests is nitrogen powered, the first to be introduced by Align, it has a G-10 Glass fiber frame set and a bump resistance plastic canopy .Though small and light it has incredible flight and stable hovering.

The last and the latest to be introduced by Align is the T-Rex 700 nitro and is similar to earlier versions but in a larger size. All are obtainable at discount prices by clicking any of the links on the page.
