  • Maiden flight

    I am mr happy bought a second hand raptor today, i knew i was going to buy it so got my receiver took it down to club hooked it all up with a bit of help from the guy's at club (great bunch of lads) fuelled her up and did two tank fulls, The rappy is so stable compared to the 450 i just loved it, the smell of the nitro the oily hands cleaning it all up after just great. I have been converted the leccy is good but the nitro is great. Just thought i would share this it's just been a great day. Met the missus in the pub after had a few beers and some grub, my idea of a perfect day.

    Doesn't get any better than that really does it. Well, maybe with some hanky panky thrown in later, but that's just pushing your luck
    You can teach a man everything. Apart from experience.

      'Nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning

      The memory of my first flights with my Raptor are burned into the RAM of my brain. The way it seemed so much bigger in the air than I expected and the tall grass getting blown around by the rotorwash etc. I don't remember anything else about that day.

      Where do you fly BTW?
