I also graduated from the AxeCP, went with a TRex450SA. Had I known about the many clones out there I probably would have gotten a clone instead. The HDX, CopterX, Diablo, Phantom, to name just a few.... All of these fly just as well as a TRex and the all share the same exact head and tail design (except for one of them that uses an underslung flybar). Clones are far cheaper and a way better value than the Align versions. Spending the extra money on the "name brand original" won't make you a better pilot, just a poorer one.
