Align 470LP Electric RC Helicopter Super Combo Kit

Embark on a new era of RC helicopter flying with Align's T-REX 470L, a testament to innovation and customer-focused design. This helicopter, released in 2016, was the much-anticipated successor to the T-REX 450L, and it was engineered to cater to the needs and aspirations of both novice and professional pilots.

One of the most striking features of the T-REX 470L was its 470EFL Main Rotor Head, which set a new standard for flight stability and control. Align recognized the importance of providing customers with a smoother, more stable flight experience. To achieve this, they introduced a lower center of gravity (CG) design, significantly reducing flying resistance. The result was a rotor head that was not only incredibly rigid but also lightning-fast in its response, allowing pilots to execute precise and agile maneuvers with ease.

Align's commitment to customer satisfaction extended to the very heart of the T-REX 470L, with an emphasis on strength and durability. To achieve this, they made significant enhancements to the main and feathering shafts. The outer dimensions of the 470 main shaft were increased from Ø5mm to Ø6mm, and the feathering shaft's outer dimensions grew from Ø4mm to Ø5mm. These structural improvements were meticulously engineered to ensure that the T-REX 470L could withstand the high-stress demands of intense 3D flying and aerobatic maneuvers.

The helicopter's frame was another area of focus for Align, characterized by a high-standard 1.2mm 3K carbon fiber main frame and a wider body design. This thoughtful design not only enhanced overall robustness but also allowed for a more spacious battery compartment. By accommodating larger capacity batteries, the T-REX 470L promised extended flight times, offering pilots the opportunity to explore more ambitious and daring flying routines.

The efficiency of the T-REX 470L's belt drive assembly design was a testament to Align's dedication to customer convenience. An innovative adjustable belt guide pulley made adjusting belt tension a straightforward task—pilots could simply release or tighten a screw. This small but essential feature ensured that pilots could maintain optimal belt tension, improving both the longevity of the belt and reducing overall maintenance costs.

Align paid attention to both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the T-REX 470L, as evidenced by the 5-degree forward tilt of the landing skid. This design not only added to the helicopter's visual appeal but also significantly enhanced its crashworthiness. The T-REX 470L was now better equipped to withstand hard landings and impacts, providing a sense of security for its pilots.

The helicopter's powerhouse was the impressive 470MX motor (1800KV/2818), which represented the cutting edge of efficiency. Align's choice of this motor was a clear rEfliteection of their customer-focused approach. The motor delivered superior power, excellent torque, reduced current draw, and operated at a lower temperature compared to its predecessor, the 460MX motor. These enhancements were not just statistics; they translated into an overall improvement in the helicopter's performance. The T-REX 470L promised an even more satisfying and thrilling flying experience.

Align's commitment to customer satisfaction extended to the T-REX 470L's electronics. The new DS450 digital cyclic servos and DS455 digital tail servo were designed to offer high voltage input support, enhancing their torque and speed. Align recognized the importance of responsive and precise control during flight maneuvers, and these servos were a testament to their commitment to customer-centric design. The new RCE-BL50X brushless ESC with an internal BEC further added to the helicopter's efficiency and performance by providing voltage output ranging from 5.0V to 8.4V, which could be tailored to the specifications of the servos in use.

The T-REX 470L was also designed to offer superior blade performance. Extended 380mm main blades improved stability and power, with an engineered airfoil design that reduced turbulence at the end of the main blades. This design helped save power during extreme 3D flight maneuvers. Longer 69 size tail blades added to the T-REX 470L's tail-holding performance, ensuring precise control even during demanding flight routines.

Every detail of the T-REX 470L was a rEfliteection of Align's dedication to customer satisfaction. From the swashplate design with zero slop, to the use of composite technology with brass inserts in the main shaft bearing block for structural integrity, Align left no stone unturned. The carbon fiber side frame plates, manufactured using proprietary composite material integration technology, integrated battery mounting rails into the frame. This innovation resulted in a robust frame that was both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional.

An additional third main shaft bearing block enhanced the main frame's strength, which was vital for 3D flight. Align also introduced a brand new latching battery tray, simplifying battery insertion and removal while ensuring crucial protection for the battery.

The T-REX 470L's design was carefully considered to cater to high voltage servos, offering an internal BEC output range from 5V to 8.4V, which could be adjusted based on servo specifications. Align recognized the importance of precision and responsiveness, and this design element was in line with their customer-centric approach.

The DS350M HV Cyclic and DS455 HV Rudder servos were designed to support up to 8.4V, offering superior responsiveness, extreme torque, and improved overall performance. This was particularly essential for pilots who demanded precise control during a wide range of flight maneuvers.

In summary, Align's T-REX 470L was not just a helicopter; it was a testament to their commitment to providing a top-notch customer experience. Every aspect of this helicopter, from its innovative features to its robust design and high-performance components, was a rEfliteection of Align's dedication to meeting and exceeding customer expectations. The T-REX 470L wasn't just a machine; it was an embodiment of Align's dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction.
