The 100S is intended for the beginner in RC aviation and designed to survive crashes. But it looks as though Align has incorporated all the quality of their big helicopters in this small package. Align Trex RC Helicopters are well known for not coming completely assembled and the 100S is not an exception. Although not as complex as the larger Trex Align Helis, basically all the assembly entails is popping the head onto the main shaft, two ball links, tighten up the "Jesus Bolt" and pop on the canopy and your ready to fly! It has been called the fastest box to flight of any Align Trex yet! Like other micro RC helicopters of its class this one is no different, the 100S is really not intended for outdoor use unless there is virtually no wind and is more intended for indoor use.
The super combo kit for the Align Trex 100S consists of a 2.4 GHz transmitter that also doubles as a flight battery charger and simulator, two lithium polymer batteries, a dual lithium polymer battery charger, a flight simulator cable and software, USB cable for charging (NEW) and 4 AA rechargeable batteries.

As mentioned above and this is REALLY a huge selling point for beginners, this Align Trex comes with flight simulator software! you can learn to fly your new 100s before even actually taking to the air with it! This is essential as the prices of these mini's as compared to others is quite expensive so it would prudent for a beginner to learn how to fly and maneuver these Align Trex RC Helicopters virtually before actually flying one in real life. Being that the 100S is a fixed pitch rotor it should not be too much of a lesson to fly one as fixed pitched RC helicopters are known to be within the beginner's realm and easy to control.
