        damn.

        I cant help with the Raptor but I have a belt CP servo you can have to get the Belt back in the air. At least then you wont be without a heli untill you fix up the raptor.

              Ive seen worse Callum.

              Main frame looks good so start with a wanted thread for some bits.

              I'm sure there are plenty on here with enough parts around to rebuild that.

              We all crash mate, Think positive and get the re-build started.

                i've got some rappy 30 spares lying around......................... long pause whilst i look see what i've got.

                ok
                got a tailboom (adonised red) which you need
                headblock which you need.
                main blades (woodies) which you need
                tail push rods (probably need)
                tail belt
                flybar carrier

                and i'm pretty sure i've got a main gear lying around somewhere


                from looking at the damage in your pics it leaves you needing some odds n ends for the head (feathering shaft and links etc), servo tray and tailboom supports (i do have 1 tailboom support but i cut the other one in half for a perch for the budgie

                drop me a pm with your address and i'll post it all out to you thursday

                edit: just found both a vertical and horizontal tail plane and the main gear + tail belt gear and a fan assemby for the engine (yours will prolly be fine but it will do as a spare)

                  its true, when i smashed my cp2 it was in three parts but now she is up and running, ready for her first flight (been too windy recently)

                  good luck with it

                      You've got my sympathy, the last two crashes I've had with my 600 have cost me £117.00 and £120.00 respectively. Looks like you'll need to start washing cars or something to help fund your repairs, or do some odd jobs for your favourite granny!

                        Thanks All, and i would like to nominate ChemicalBro for a EGS for his generous donationr of spares,


                        I know its part of the learning, but im more peed off then ever because what i did was so stupid as soon as the model hit the ground i was still moving the sticks like i was flying as i could not beleive what had happend.

                        But, i still love the hobby i wont quit for sure but will just take time

                          Really feel for you Callum

                          Remember my first crash.....I was so angry & ****ed off. Just a stupid mistake as well.

                          Rebuild...carry on.

                          Cheers

                            it was a dumb thumb moment mate, we all get them.
                            the good thing about those tho , you usually learn from it.
                            she'll be sorted in no time and back in the air.


                            anybody got a servo tray kicking around?
