Align 470LT Electric RC Helicopter Kit Super Combo Torque Tube Tail

Experience the future of RC helicopter flying with Align's T-REX 470LT—a helicopter engineered with an unwavering focus on meeting the diverse needs and aspirations of customers, regardless of their level of expertise. This innovative release in 2016 followed the success of the T-REX 450L and was poised to redefine the RC helicopter industry.

The standout feature of the T-REX 470LT was the 470EFL Main Rotor Head, which symbolized a new era of flight stability. Align recognized the importance of providing customers with a smoother, more stable flight experience. This was achieved through a lower center of gravity (CG) design that significantly reduced flying resistance. The result was a rotor head that was not only incredibly rigid but also highly responsive, allowing pilots to execute precise and agile maneuvers with ease. Align's commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in the thoughtfully designed rotor head.

The importance of a robust and durable design was not lost on Align, and this was rEfliteected in the main and feathering shafts of the T-REX 470LT. Align made significant improvements to ensure these components could withstand the demands of high-stress 3D flying and aerobatic maneuvers. 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 enhancements were thoughtfully engineered to provide customers with a helicopter that could withstand rigorous use.

The helicopter's frame was another area where Align demonstrated their dedication to customer satisfaction. This was exemplified by the 1.2mm 3K carbon fiber main frame and an expanded body design, which served dual purposes. On one hand, this robust construction ensured the T-REX 470LT's longevity and structural integrity, catering to the demands of both novice and professional pilots. On the other hand, the wider body design allowed for a more spacious battery compartment. This, in turn, extended flight times, providing pilots with the freedom to explore more ambitious and daring flying routines.

Align went the extra mile in ensuring customer convenience, especially when it came to the efficiency of the belt drive assembly. An innovative adjustable belt guide pulley simplified belt tension adjustments for pilots, achieved by merely releasing or tightening a screw. This seemingly minor feature played a significant role in allowing pilots to maintain optimal belt tension, thereby extending the life of the belt and reducing overall maintenance costs. Align's focus on customer convenience and cost savings was clear in this aspect of the design.

The landing skid was an additional focus area for Align's customer-centric design approach. By tilting the landing skid forward by 5 degrees, Align not only enhanced crashworthiness but also added a dynamic and avant-garde visual touch to the T-REX 470LT. This design element served both functional and aesthetic purposes, emphasizing Align's commitment to providing customers with a holistic and satisfying experience.

The powerhouse of the T-REX 470LT was the impressive 470MX motor (1800KV/2818). This motor represented the cutting edge of efficiency and performance, and Align's choice of this motor was a 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 weren't just statistics but translated into an overall improvement in the helicopter's performance. Align was focused on ensuring that customers experienced a truly satisfying and thrilling flying adventure with the T-REX 470LT.

Align didn't stop at the mechanics of the helicopter. Their commitment to customer satisfaction extended to the T-REX 470LT'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 470LT was also designed to offer superior blade performance. With extended 380mm main blades, stability and power were significantly enhanced, especially during flight routines. An engineered airfoil design further reduced turbulence at the end of the main blades, saving power during extreme 3D flight maneuvers. Longer 69 size tail blades added to the T-REX 470LT's tail-holding performance, ensuring precise control even during demanding flight routines.

Every detail of the T-REX 470LT 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, a crucial feature for 3D flight enthusiasts. Align also introduced a brand new latching battery tray, simplifying battery insertion and removal while ensuring crucial protection for the battery.

The T-REX 470LT'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 470LT 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 470LT wasn't just a machine; it was an embodiment of Align's dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction. Align's T-REX 470LT was designed to offer a truly exceptional flying experience, catering to the diverse needs of all customers, whether they were newcomers or seasoned professionals.
