Align's most anticipated helicopter release in 2016 the T-REX 470L is born. No matter whether you are a newcomer or a professional, the brand new T-REX 470L will give you the new flying feel again.
470EFL Main Rotor Head provides superior flight stability and offers a lower CG design to reduce flying resistance while providing a more rigid and fast rotor head response. To improve the strength and durability of the main and feathering shaft the 470 main shaft outer dimension was increased from Ø5mm to Ø6mm, while the feathering shaft outer dimension was increased from Ø4mm to Ø5mm. The 470L has adopt a high standard 1.2mm 3K carbon fiber main frame and a wider body design which increases the size of the battery compartment allowing the use of larger capacity battery. The 470L utilizes a high efficient belt drive assembly design with an innovative adjustable belt guide pulley, providing a convenient way to adjust the belt tension by releasing or tightening the screw. This screw is used to maintain optimal belt tension improving the life of the belt and lowering maintains costs. The landing skid is tilted 5 degrees forward to improve crashworthiness and makes T-REX470L more avant-garde and dynamic.
The T-REX 470L is equipped with the large outer diameter 470MX motor (1800KV) which is highly efficient providing superior power, excellent torque, improved current draw, and a lower operating temperature which are excellent improvements as compared to the 460MX motor. The brand new DS450 digital cyclic servos and DS455 digital tail servo, support up to V8.4, high voltage input, improving the servos torque and speed. The new RCE-BL50X brushless ESC with an internal BEC provides 5.0V to 8.4V which can be set based on servo specification. The new high-end electronics effectively enhance flight performance.
Extended 380mm main blades effectively improve the flying stability and power performance.
The new engineered airfoil design effectively reduces turbulence at the end of the main blades,
this saves power consumption during extreme 3D flight. New 69 size tail blades are longer in length
and offer superior tail holding performance, even during demanding 3D flight.
Brand New 470EFL Main Rotor Head provides superior flight stability and offers a lower CG design
to reduce flying resistance while providing a more rigid and fast rotor head response.
Brand New 470 Main Shaft and Feathering Shaft: Main Shaft outer dimension increased from Ø5mm to Ø6mm,
while the Feathering Shaft outer dimension increased from Ø4mm to Ø5mm,
effectively strengthening the Main and Feathering Shaft while improving durability.
New 470MX motor features; high efficiency, superior power, excellent torque, low current draw,
and a low operating temperature. The 470MX is capable of maintaining consistent torque
and head speed through continuous 3D maneuvers. 470MX motor is designed for 3D flight.
New Swashplate design with zero slop delivering a precise and accurate controlled flight.
Manufactured using the latest composite technology to embed brass inserts into main shaft bearing block,
which enhance the structure integrety and strength. You can feel the solid structure even in extreme 3D flight.
Carbon fiber side frame plates are manufactured using a proprietary composite material integration technology
which integrates the battery mounting rails into the frame. This unique use of open spaces within
the frame creates a rigid frame and is aesthetically pleasing.
An additional 3rd main shaft bearing block increases the strength of the main frame while improving 3D flight.
Brand new latching battery tray which utilizes integrated mounting rails inside the frames
to simplify insertion / removal of battery while providing protection for the battery.
Specially designed for T-REX 470 providing higher currency output and support for high voltage servos
with an internal BEC output from 5V to 8.4V which can be set up based on servo specification.
DS350M HV Cyclic and DS455 HV Rudder servos support up to 8.4V for superior responsiveness,
extreme torque, and improved performance.
Innovative adjustable belt guide pulley, allows a convenient way to adjust the belt tension by releasing
or tightening the screw. The screw is used to maintain optimal belt tension over time.
The One Way Bearing is manufactured using bearing steal and after heat treatment the hardness is
HRC50-55. This larger bearing has a higher load carry capacity which reduces the loss of momentum
and improves the fficiency, speed, and smoothness of the main rotor. The new main gear case and
all-metal central pulley transmission system is an efficient design to deliver the ultimate performance.
Landing skid is tilted 5 degrees forward to improve crashworthiness.
Newly designed vertical tail servo mount to improve CG while increasing the responsiveness of 3D flight.
A wider Tail Boom to improves the torsional strength.
Designed using a proprietary material integration technology which
creates a unique look and improves the Vertical Stabilizer's stiffness.
The newly designed dual point supported tail control assembly delivers slop free
performance while improving rudder resolution and precision.
The new tail rotor holder design includes thrust bearings which increases durability,
as well as significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of the tail performance when using 69 size Tail Blades.

Nice helicopter kit. The speed control (esc) stopped working during programming and hasn’t worked since
I have had my eyes on a Trex 470L for a few years now. Finally got one during the awesome Black Friday sale. This was my first official Kit from Align, I loved building it! Instructions were clear and it was easy to put together. Once the Beast X is all dialed in, it flies solid as a rock! Next might be the Trex 550 ;)
Great service and good place to buy from the have a large selection of parts in stock good job
It's been about 10 years since I built my first heli (a 450 Clone), and excited to build this 470LP. I can't do much more than hover, but the build process is what I really enjoy. The Align kit is top notch, from the packaging to the instructions and quality of parts. The price of the 470LP Super Combo made this a great deal. Helidirect shipped the same day and will definitely do business with them again.
Good Kit for a first time builder
This is my 1st Align and was nervous about the build but with very detailed instructions the build wasn't that bad, i bought the ikon2 with it and step by step directions has made it a breeze
for a beginner heli ! very good kit, it fly very nice but the issue is the cheap plastic part, once you advance the heli will fall apart, specially plastic tail parts will break and you will ended up spending a lot of money in upgrades to metal, just buy the metal version if you can, if not just replace the tail with the metal tail case a Torq mini Servo and you will see how this heli turn into another machine
I have had my 470LP for about 6 months now and have over 50 flights logged. Great flying little helicopter! Plenty of punch and super agile. I upgraded to the HW 60A ESC and Torq servos all around and she is flying like on rails once set up.
Great price, flies well, parts are inexpensive
I have been in the Hobby for about ten years, I have eight Heli's most of which are Blade Helicopters that have come pre-assembled. I purchased an Align 500PRO DFC on Ebay which someone else assembled, & I decided it was finally time to get a kit and do my own build. I decided on the Align 470LP because of great reviews, & the price was very good. I also wanted the plastic Blade Grips, & Rotor Head because in the event of a blade strike it would be far cheaper to replace those things versus the whole rotor assembly if it was aluminum, & I can always upgrade to the aluminum parts after I get comfortable with my new 470LP.
The instructions were pretty easy to follow, everything went together well, I just wish it came with some extra M2.5 screws. I was either missing a couple or lost a couple of the M2.5X6 screws and had a hard time finding screws that small, once I did I was able to quickly complete the build. I decided to use a Spektrum AR7200BX FBL controller/receiver I had laying around, & have it almost completed. I just have to dial in the blades with my pitch gauge and set the system parameters then I should be ready to fly it!
Overall I'm very happy the way it all came together and I'm already looking at the Align 550X for my next build. I bought several dozen M2 & M2.5 screws & washers at various lengths just in case I end up losing any on my future builds, anything bigger than those sizes are easy to get at pretty much any hardware store. I have already purchased a BD Axon which I will use on my next build, which will be purchased from Helidirect. They shipped my 470LP swiftly, & their customer service seems to be very good, when I had a question they go back to me within thirty minutes, good customer service goes a long way with me so I will be going to them exclusively for my future needs such as Helicopter kits, parts, transmitters, etc.
