      @@andre-dx4yw Thank you! I’m glad the build videos are helpful! The TB60 is definitely the best Align model they made this far. I sold mine because I kept breaking main gears. But it flys great!

    Man the TB series has to be the best bang for your buck. And really neck and neck can the average pilot notice a difference when flying each model with like for like electronics

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  6 месяцев назад +1

      Align has always been the best bang for your buck helicopters on the market and a very popular Heli company for a long time. The average pilot would not know the difference in flight between the two if they were properly tune, and set up.

    I was considering adding TB60 to my dwindling fleet, until I had issues with my tail drive pulley on my TB70. Been an Align fan for years, but I think I’ll splurge and go for the Raw 580 instead.

      The only issue I’ve had with the TB60 other than the crap canopy is the main gear breaking a few teeth (not normal!) but you can’t go wrong with the RAW 580!

    I just ordered a new radio system for my helis. Been flying with first gen DX7 since 2007! I have a new NX8, SRXL2 & a remote rx ordered. I'll be using a iKon2 as well. Telemetry is new to me & I'm still using Castle ESC's. Would you consider making a help video on Telemetry? Weather you do or not, I appreciate your hard work producing great, helpful videos! Cheers from Mississippi...

      Great upgrade! It’s like a whole New World lol I have done a few videos on telemetry on how to get it with brain/iKon but not done anything with castle ESC as I don’t have a Heli flying castle at the moment but have a bunch of castle ESCs. Which Castle ESCs do you have?

  • @TadaYada
    @TadaYada 6 месяцев назад +5

    The TB60 is great except they need to start listening and get rid of that junk BeastX and that tail servo that it comes with is not the best and smoothest servo in the market...if they can fix these 2 things and give us option on what FBL to add to the kit and anyone in their right might to make everyone content with how the tail should be can't skimp out on these 2 critical options...

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  6 месяцев назад +2

      I agree the tail servo is not the best but the whole point of the lines combo kits I believe is for a one stop shop for guys that just want everything in one box. That is probably why they offer it in both versions. But yeah, the BeastX can go! No one wants them lol

    All great info. However, what about a RAW vs Kraken? What's the real difference other than the look of it?

    • @brentwilson2264
      @brentwilson2264 6 месяцев назад +1

      Repair cost, the kraken boom is $80, raw is like $30. Sideways flight on the raw is better as it’s open air design. Unless you’re doing smack 3D pry won’t notice. Kyle and Bert do a good comparison video.

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  6 месяцев назад

      I’m almost finished with my Kraken and I will definitely do that video. The main difference that the RAW is lighter and a lot more open so in sideways or a lot of tail flying you will notice a lot more consistent tail on the RAW but if you are not a smack 3-D pilot. You will never notice the difference in between the two machines other than Cost

    Two separate servo issues/failures on new Align kits plus numerous BeastX issues caused me to walk away from the brand. Its too bad, cause their kits sure were convenient, but I guess it served its purpose after returning from a 10 year break.

      @@heli_sport Yes sir, I can relate to that. Took the 550X out after dozens of flights and the right collective servo just ran away and rolled hard in and was locked in that position post crash. HLX's are in there now!

      I have only had one a line servo go bad, but I have read many people having that issue. Now the microbeast/beastX is another story lol. Very famous for the right roll of death for absolutely no reason. And that is why I know longer fly anything with that FBL unit.

    There is not much else to be said that you don't cover. I don't like gears on high performance. The only thing I will add is I think most professionals that have many models can appreciate the pros and cons of all of them there is fun in flying different ones. Ease and cost of repairs can take precedent over all out performance when you're bank account is involved.

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  6 месяцев назад

      Align Helis have always been a great choice for many pilots and many top pilots around the world have flown and competed with them. I’m not a huge fan of the big gear either. Especially because I have already had one let go in about 30 flights. So it is something to keep an ion.
