User:The RedBurn/T-Rex (RC helicopter)

{{refimprove|date=August 2010}} The T-Rex is a series of radio-controlled helicopter models produced by the Taiwan-based Align Corporation. The T-Rex is arguably the best selling series of flying model helicopters and is recognized for its design.^[1][2] So much so that its models are widely copied by makers of so-called "T-rex clones" of varying qualities.^[1] However, genuine Align T-rex helicopters are regarded as benchmarks for quality in manufacturing and materials.^[3][4] Many RC forums on the Internet devote lengthy sections to sharing technical information and discussions of the models produced by Align. The T-rex 450 line in particular has done much to popularize the RC helicopter hobby/sport, though Align's other model sizes now compete with the 450's popularity. Align Corp. sponsors expert RC pilots to showcase the helicopters' aerobatic capabilities in demonstrations world-wide. Since the initial release of the T-Rex 450, the product range has been expanded to include the T-Rex 100 and 250 micro electric helicopter, 500, 550, and 600 models up, to the .90 in³ size nitro T-Rex 700 helicopter and 700e electric powered helicopter.
