    I thought 600's were big then they made the 700. This is just huge.

    Cool, but I don't care how good a pilot is, or how nice a helo is, no way am I going to just sit in a lawn chair 10 feet from some guys 800 size helo landing next to the veins in my neck...

    I like it, well I like the audio ... It's got a deep throaty sound, the deepest when they do the pitch pumps.
    But I like em BIG. Turbo Helis, such as the 'Burgens' another example of BIG and mighty and LOUD! But they are not quick, 'electric' birds are QUICK

    Same here.  The bigger helicopters make cool sounds, but even the 450 size can make some cool sounds too.

    Are you looking at the Align 700?  My favorite all time best-in-the-world RC helicopter is still the Kasama, but to be honest those SAB Goblin's are looking really nice to me too.  Check out the Goblin swash servo arrangement.

    Gotta agree GPS, Kasama is cool, and the Goblin sure is pulling ahead of Align I think.

    Nope, just looking at that size actually ... As much as I like my TRex I won't be buying ALIGN.
    ... I like building my own up from a bare airframe ;) Not sure what as my research not too far along but I'm thinking BIG

    ... Kasama ARE good but expensive

    I like the Align products also, and they are the best for obtaining spare parts locally.  Yeah the Kasama's are expensive, but they are the Rolex of helicopters.  Simply amazing craftsmanship everywhere you look on a Kasama.
