We're unloading all our Align 450 parts at a deep discount right now, for anyone who needs / wants ... we are getting out of Align.

Hey Jim .. yeah, I only have parts left for the 450 ... we're just trying to get rid of it all. We never had much luck with Align like we have with other brands we carry.

Elec Re: what is the best 450 I can buy and what about opional upgrades

My two cents... IMHO
Best 450 that you can buy is a Beam.. rock solid, tight tolerances. needs no upgrades.
I agree less than ideal to find parts but that wasn't the question....
( mine has been bullet proof)
Mine for sale soon LOL time to try another brand, as is the nature of our hobby!

Re: what is the best 450 I can buy and what about opional upgrades

The 450 helicopter revolution is here. There are sooo many 450 helicopters to choose from. The unfortunate truth is that almost all RC helicopters and planes eventually crash and will need to be repaired. If you buy an oddball 450 helicopter that no one carriers replacement parts for you could be left with a broken helicopter for weeks while you wait for parts. The Trex 450 helicopter. It's pretty much the standard that all 450 helicopters are measured by. It flies well, there are a ton of upgrade parts for it and almost every good RC hobby store cary's replacement parts for it so you never have to worry about being left with a broken helicopter.

Compass Warp and rumored Goblin ~450 both are supported by the two largest online shops in Canada, RotorQuest and RCHeliCanada.com

Between all three of my "Local" hobby shops none carries Align. All stock Blade which I really no longer have any interest in.
