raptor 30

[martin uly]

had the raptor out at flying club field today, my first glow heli so fairly nervous lol, on third tank ov fuel was hovering a treat bout head hight (6ft) very stable , even came home in one piece , well chuffed

[Boggy]

A difficult helicopter to beat for a beginner.Very basic easy to manage and not too intimidating.It'll take you a long way

[martin uly]

is cracking heli worth every penny , bit of wind on today and still super stable , well happy

I'm in the process of reviving a Raptor 30 v1 at the moment
Its been stripped and rebuilt, new fuel lines, air filter, batteries and glow plug
The new fuel turned up Friday and I've borrowed a glow starter from a mate ( thanks Kyle

Might even have a go at firing it up minus blades when I finish work today

hi mark do yourself a favour and up graded the head to v2 the feathering shafts are more forgiving in a crash, and i must agree the rappy 30 is a great heli to learn with

[MarkG_R1]

Thing is, it's not my heli, it's a mates,
He bought it secondhand in 2006 and has never learnt to fly

I did think about offering some money for it but what he paid for it then and what it's worth now are two very different things and I can't see us settling on a price,

So for the time being I'm going to have a play with it and see what happens

[dave j]

you can pick a decent second hand one up now for around £200 bind and fly

congrats mate and i agree Raptors are brilliant and reliable helis, and i always say buy a heli can take you a long way (because its save you moneky not having to buy different helis at different stages)

Well done m8

I love my Rappy 30...it's my workhorse and got me through my A cert recently...I fly it far more than my 700, but that could be because I'm scared to put the 700 in whilst with the Rappy I'm not!
