Nearly done...

[Disc]

Saw 3DBasher chucking his 600 about last night....

Kind of got me inspired to finsh mine off...



Needs gyro and blade set up on bench then maybe I can test fly it....

everything esle seems to work

Only the Battery pack maybe an issue at 2800ma If I really like flying it gonna need a bigger duralite pack....


also discovered an important lesson as well... when you roll make sure your in idle up 1... Raptor came about 12ft from being lots of bits

Are you going to add a header tank Disc?

Two in my club at the weekend, while running the new engines in, run out of fuel and both still had fuel you could see left in the tank.

have not decided yet but 3DBasher has a fuel magnet in his tank and it sucked the tank totally Dry. He doesn't run a header tank on it.

[MartinM]

One person from Sunday is going to buy one, I will look at the clunck to see why, maybe there is too bigger step up to the fuel hole? Looked normal when I fitted mine but not flown it yet.

i've got a 2400 mah fromeco in mine get six flights to a charge

[Disc]

Ah well I should be good for 6 flights as well then fully charged. As your running all that strange stuff on yours I might get 7 flights

Duralite's though do not allow a quick charge or destroy the battery

got a 4000ma though on the Raptor and I can always swap them over if I need to...

getting the belt to tighten was a bugger though. I was holding it nose down and pulling the boom to get it nice and tight....

Was aiming for a Friday morning test flight and looked at the date and have decided to maybe test it Saturday instead.

Nice lookin ship there Dude,now get it in the trunk of ya car and fly it

...3DBasher has a fuel magnet in his tank and it sucked the tank totally Dry.

What is a 'Fuel Magnet'? I can imaging it's some kind of spongy clunk, but any further details on it?

I might be interested in this if Kerosene won't rot it.
