3:40 to 3:48 that is so smooth! Awesome flying! Well done man!

[@alanszabojr]

Thank you

[@merlavery5057]

I got mine a few weeks ago and its a very beautiful bird in real life pics and videos don't show it's details , plus it flies incredible for its size . Turns and flips are locked in and silky smooth. I might get a second . It makes my protos 380 evo feel old.

[@alanszabojr]

Awesome to hear your enjoying the new machine. It really is a great little machine.

[@ritadecassiasantos9635]

Hello Alan, excellent model, great congratulation on the flight you are also the top of the Galaxies!!! Merry Christmas to you and your Family my sincere wishes.!!!!!

[@alanszabojr]

Thank you. I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well

Great work, Alan!

[@Thejasond1979]

Great flying mr. Szabo

[@alanszabojr]

Thank you

[@BlackThunderRC]

Looks really light in the air and quite too !

[@alanszabojr]

It is very quiet in comparison to the older machines

[@Islaam47]

Mashallah Subhanallah very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

[@LichaelMewis]

I just got mine in. Won't be building it for a while though. I am currently building an RS4 Venom.

[@VipiModel-nk3ce]

Hi Alan from Spain, in your opinion wich heli is better or wich one do you prefer, Align Tb40 or Align 470LM?please let me know, i would like an answer from a profesional pilot like you, best regards.

[@alanszabojr]

It depends on the type of flying you are doing. The TB40 is the ultimate overall peromace machine and is great for hovering to hard 3D. If you are learning I would probably go with the 470LM as it a little more simple to build and possibly parts could be cheaper as it is an outgoing model.

[@VipiModel-nk3ce]

Thanks for your reply Alan i appreciate your help, im not learning, i fly helis yesrs ago but i dont know how good is the new tb40 mechanics with motor belt drive so for me is important your opinion cause you fly both models and you are an expert pilot, thank you so much my friend and Greetings from Canary Island Spain

[@moreiraadair]

Smooth and Nice flight !

[@alanszabojr]

Thank you

[@LichaelMewis]

4:25 very smooth and i like how you cork screw it tighter and tighter. Is this maneuver called a funnel?

[@ThePlanefixr]

Looks Good Alan!

[@alanszabojr]

Thank you

[@kaidok9314]

My heli doesn't do any of that, i think i got a bad one!

[@alanszabojr]

😂

[@LichaelMewis]

2:31 what is this loop type maneuver called? And what is it called when you transitioned out of it? The helicopters main shaft and swash was flying horizontal to the ground which makes it seem to defy gravity. Both cool maneuvers.

[@ryanlemons3255]

Reverse rolling loop?

[@johngowing2252]

Hey Allen, the sound is awesome. Watching with surround sound. Can you tell me where I can get the intro music? Who and what is the name?

[@alanszabojr]

I get my intro music in the KZbin creator. The artist is Letter Box, song is Hey Sailor

[@shawnscott9704]

Hey Alan nice, what’s max size main blades can run on this? Also the stock TR servo can you run 500/760 on it?

[@karts-fish-Rc]

Looks good 👍

[@alanszabojr]

Thank you

[@karts-fish-Rc]

@@alanszabojr can I please get your opinion on the timing on my TB70 I running the hobbywing platinum hv 200a esc and the 850mx 540 kv motor what motor timing should I use, thanks bro

[@scrc511]

Hi Alan, I’m tempted to try the TB40. At 2750 RPM at what percentage on the transmitter that translate to? I have 16IZ also. Thanks Alan

[@alanszabojr]

I have it at +76% Futaba numbers.

[@scrc511]

@@alanszabojr Thanks Alan, appreciate it. With my other Heli, numbers are very close. I typically don’t run pass 80% as I read somewhere a while back that percentage on Futaba’s will read at a lower value but translate to higher than Spectrum. Good flying as always my friend.

[@scrc511]

@@alanszabojr Thanks Alan. BTW, I hope want of these days that you’ll be able to make a video for the CGY760. Really want to try it. I’ve seen some videos for it they’re not very clear. I hope you can make a setup video for it. What’s the difference between the CGY755 and 760, is it just one has built in Rx? Thanks Alan

[@francoisspitals9008]

4mins of flight, is cool with 1450mAh. What are your impressions about this new generation?

[@alanszabojr]

I pushed it a touch long on that pack. I'd recommend a slightly larger pack for a true 4min of 3D. So far it's feeling good. It's nice and quiet in comparison to the older models.

[@SeaSide420]

great little machine. i reckon that'll be the one for me the next time im feeling rich! I'd be wanting to mount a FPV camera on it, and then just fly level and slow (compared to that LOL) whats the range on this equipment?

[@alanszabojr]

I've never tried FPV on an actual helicopter. Im sure it would be fun challenge

[@raygoldsborough9776]

Alan, are you using any FF or Acc.gain in the cgy760 Rudd section to stop tail kick out on collective pumps?

[@alanszabojr]

I am using 10% That number will change depending on the head-speed and the amount of collective your using so the % could be different for others

[@nawdog187]

I don't understand why you guys are stepping away from the X Series

[@LichaelMewis]

Alan what are your honest thoughts on this machine?

[@rogerfrean207]

How long does a charge give you flying time?

[@alanszabojr]

However long this video is so like 4 minutes. If you don't fly aggressive 3D you can probably get around 6-7 minutes of flying.

[@Euwanh85]

usng deans connectors is strange

[@kb8wsf]

60 amp esc. Why would you think it is strange? Deans are rated for 60 continuous amps 75 burst

[@Euwanh85]

Deans are not the best connectors

[@kb8wsf]

@@Euwanh85I’m curious what are the best then? I don’t use deans. Just like to hear why you think something else is better.

[@Euwanh85]

@kb8wsf xt60/90 are good. Much easier to solder. Also easier to connect. Sometimes with deans one of the pins get pulled up and you can't connect it properly

[@ottrod455]

I like Dean's connectors - personal preference I suppose.

[@sawyerheslep8493]

can i put 400-420mm blades on?

[@alanszabojr]

You can I just don't know if it will clear the tail if your going for hard 3D with it

[@sawyerheslep8493]

@@alanszabojr only sport and soft 3d

[@sawyerheslep8493]

I'm curious case sab has 420mm blades and they classed this a 400 size heli. The motor can definitely handle it tho

[@robbynelson3]

So what's the difference between this and the previous generation?

[@alanszabojr]

Major differences in the motor drivetrain. Instead of a direct motor to main gear setup this has a belt gear reduction system that makes it a lot quieter than the older models.

[@Backyard_Buzzard]

those 1450s are tired

[@FranksModelAviationWorkshop]

Do you prefer this heli over the 470LM?

[@alanszabojr]

I only have a few flights with this new machine so give me a little more air time before I make a judgment call like that. It is definitely quieter than my 470L

[@FranksModelAviationWorkshop]

@@alanszabojr I like it. Just wondering if I should buy one, or just stick to my 470.

[@ThomasColeman]

what length is the heli ? 1000mm?

[@alanszabojr]

From the nose of the canopy to the tail is 750mm
