Finally New Release CopterX 500

After several day or month for waiting this bird release finally CopterX 500 officially available in the RC market. It designs same as or clones Align Trex 500. The canopy design color is different than Trex 500. It simple and stripe with yellow, blue and white colour.

As SE kit is the top of the line model come complete with carbon fiber one piece frame, full aluminum alloy rotor head and tail assembly, no need for upgrades for this model. Assembly is very straight forward as the rotor head and tail come assembled already. The quality of parts are first class as the beautifully machined aluminum alloy rotor head, tail assembly, one piece tail boom mounts, all anodized in black. And carbon fiber frame and boom support make CX500SE a truly desirable helicopter.

Top quality carbon fiber frame with aluminum alloy mounts to make it a rigid and durable frame. With these steady constructions the frame can sure withstand the force during most extreme 3D maneuver. And the complete tail boom holder was nicely machined by two piece aluminum for strength and durability. The fiber glass canopy come factory painted, light weight and stiff.

Main rotor:


























The main rotor come full assembled so the construction is very straight forward. I took it apart to take a closer look but I don’t think it is necessary as all screw have thread lock on it already. As mention earlier all parts were made by CNC aluminum alloy for durability and anodized in a nice black finish. The main shaft is made with hardened steel with over size lock collar to within the force during hard 3D maneuvers. And at the bottom is the nylon main gear with one way assembly.

Tail assembly:






The belt drive rudder system feature open design for easy maintains and was machined from aluminum alloy for strength. The rudder servo was mounted directly on the tail boom by a carbon fiber mount.







Conclusion:

With all these nice feature and the quality of parts.Replacement parts are available on the market as all parts are interchangeable with the Trex. Make this model a bargain with all these upgrade parts.
