Hi all, can anyone explain the numbering system of the Align Helis? I'm thinking of buying a 600-sized as a spare to my 550.
My local hobby store has both 550 and 600 (Super Combo). The 550 carries the number 'RH55E09XT' and the 600 number 'RH60E14AT'. The Align website lists their numbers as - 'RH55E12XW' (550) and 'RH60E14XW' (600).
What does this mean in terms of the actual production date and possible improvements during the period? Of course, to a layman like me, this means the local store's 600 is not too far off the current Align product number and the 550 is not so close. But what does this really mean?
The prices quoted aren't too different, so to me this isn't really a problem.
Thanks in anticipation.
