RC Helicopter NEW Align TB40/ Unboxing and Build Part 1

It is 2024 and new year and a new build to start the season with!
Here we have the brand new Align TB40 RC helicopter. In this video we will have a look at what you get in the box before we go into a complete build of the model.
This will be a 2 parts episode where part two will have the electric setup and then the maiden for the model.
So sit back and enjoy the build.

Help can’t get rid off the tail wag in my brand new combo tb40.

Did you remember to grease that one way bearing? I didn’t see it. My follower arm was stripped out and canopy kinda rough. You left out the plate on the top front initially? lol

Good build video, but I recommend any metal part that is threaded and the screw that goes into it need to be cleaned with alcohol to remove any oils from their surface that was left behind by the machining process. This oil can prevent your thread lock from functioning properly. I use a proxy brush that you use to clean between your teeth and rubbing alcohol.

How to remove and replace the main shaft?

[JG-dxud]

Thank you SO MUCH! I watched this video a dozen times before my TB40 arrived. Built most of it last night. The motor wires are horribly close to the main shaft belt though, any advice on how you managed to arrange them on this? Can't see your wire route in this video. Oh this is also my first kit build so I'm new at this.... only flown BNF models until now. Thanks again!

Hi Rob
some advice if possible
I am thinking of buying the AlignTB 60 with the view of later using the helicopter for building a scale helicopter
Can you advise me would this be a good model to learn scale flying and do you know of a good fuselage that is reasonably easy to use for this setup .
I know its a bit of an open end question but I have to start asking somewhere

Why does the tail slider travel so much less to rudder right than left? It seems like the linkage isn’t long enough. Anyone else seeing this?

[karlc]

Is this a total novice build, I've replaced linkages on my M2 v2, could I build this ?

I just got my new gps 450 heli in the mail. It's Flywing RTF assembled . I just had to put the blades on. This has never happened to me before but soon as I lifted off. It started to like wobble off and on. It kinda looks like wind turbulence but with no wind. Do you know what would be causing that. I adjusted the blades but didn't help.

[rchelicopter]

Ian didn't build that one, he would have done a far better job. That's just a simple P30 on an acrylic deck with a PSU underneath. Nothing fancy.

I think Align missed a trick. They could of modified the canopy to be like the goosky or the goblin. Where I think they nicked a load of their design cues, and made a beluga style nose which is hinged and then you could put the battery in without taking off the Canopy
