To be honest - I question the quality bit on some parts ....

I recently needed a new belt and the Align one I was shown was thinner and appeared poor quality to the clone ones I eventually bought. I have also read online about this.

I replaced one-way shaft ... my original Upforce one was eggshell and sheared easily, but comparing the Align one with the one's I bought as replacement - again the clone appear better ......

I know some comment about bearings ... no idea on this. I suppose economy has to be made somewhere. But I ask is the Align pricing really fair / appropriate ?

Well, compared to the clones they are incredibly expensive, but if you compare them to others in there class they are cheaper, so I guess they are'nt that bad after all. I'll just say, I have never had any problems with there stuff or had to change things out during a build to make it right.
Amain has the 450 sport for 400 bucks, with all the stuff for it. I call that a good deal, gyro , servos, motor, everything.. Other heli's are 80 bucks less, but you don't get anything but the heli and maybe a motor.
Again, Chevy VS Ford, personal preference, and how much are you willing to spend.
