Nunya started this,,,LOL,,,THX dude!! My wife asked what I wanted for X-mas and agreed to buy me a new heli with a cap of $400,,,here's what I ordered; www.helidirect.com/align-trex-250se-super-combo-kx019005-motor-esc-gyro-servos-stock-now-p-15331.hdxNot a bad price for this kit,,,,,PLUS,,,right now Helidirect has a 'AMAZING15' coupon for 15% off all Align stuff. So,,the price is $339.96 with free shipping. If you were to buy just the electronics,,,4x servos,,gyro,,esc and motor,,,it would be over $300. I bought the usual spare parts,,,also 15% off,, and I still have enough to buy maybe 3 batteries and still be under $400. I'll document this build and video the maiden voyage! Randy

I didn't notice that sol. You're either getting even more subtle or I'm getting even more dull. No need to comment. ;D
Happy landings

Holy smoke.you guys ain't going to believe this one this must be catching. My wife asked me earlier this evening which heli I wanted for xmas It caught me so off guard that I had to ask her what she said Well I did not want to look a gift-horse in the mouth I told her I had enough heli's at this time.........but I could use 4 servos and a couple new rx like a AR6200 or a AR6250 if that would be OK she said sure go ahead and get them and that will be my gift to you this year. I don't know if its something in the air or water but I sure as heck hope it last and it moves around to the rest of you Dave

My stuff has started to arrive Got the AR6100e today. Strange that I ordered it 5 days ago on ebay and it's here already, but the heli that I ordered on Dec 13 hasn't shown up yet. Hopefully tomorrow ;D It's weird too...I wasn't this excited about getting my 450. Maybe because it's my first Align purchase, I dunno...BUT IT BETTER HURRY UP AND GET HERE!!! You watch, Randy will get his before I get mine (No offense Randy lol) Colin

OK guys I don't care what you say there really is a Santa. Me and the wife were out shopping this afternoon and she asked me where the lhs was that I visit . This is the first time she has ever asked me anything about it so I told her it was about two miles from where we were and she said take me there I want to see it . So off we go..when we get there she says lets get out I want to see the inside, well we get inside and she said "Now pick out your Christmas present from me" Don't ask me twice, I went straight to the E-flight Blade MSR shelf. She said are you sure that is the one you want With that I headed straight to the check-out counter. Man I have a great wifey ;D Dave
