Wir sind stolz darauf nun endlich als erster in Europa das Align Carbon Main Frame anzubieten - zu einem unschlagbaren Preis, das ultimative Tuning für den T-Rex X bzw. XL !

This is Align's (maker of T-Rex) first international competition. The event will be held on August 21, 2005 in central Taiwan. If you have never been to Taiwan before, come see why this island was called Formosa (Portuguese for "beautiful island") while enjoying probably the first all electric heli competition in the world.

There are actually two events occurring that day: one a general fun fly open to the public, second a 3D invitational. There are already some well known attendants such as Jason Krause, Erich Stolz, Duncan Osborne, and Stephen Gerrard.
