    To be honest I can't wait to run her up, there is so much to learn about setting up the engine but thats the fun it!!

        You all have short memories clouded by nostalga...LOL

        Yes the Rappie flew well, but it lacked Pitch range and accuracy.

        The newer SE does address most of the problems but to be fair some 5 years too late.

        Would they have moved on Pre-Trex. I think not. We all know full well TT lay on there own laurals way to long and it was only because of there tumbling market share they have re-vamped the range.

        Remember those tail grip hubs breaking loose, then it was the tail hub radial brgs failing, one ways..starter shaft bearing slipping, belts going out of alignment, crappy boom clamp..pinion brgs. Flexi pitch tray, The flexi plastic pitch hoops..Dampners, non closed flybar cage so when a flybar breaks your stuffed. I spent as much time maintaining it as flying.

        My nice and sloppy trex is mostly cheaper to fix, maintain and a lot more reliable overall. It can be taken to the edge, flight after flight without fear of something causing it to crash. Yes it has issues but these are minor in reality Brian

          Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia

          It would be good to see the Titan SE in the flesh to see how it compares to the V2`s i flew..
