fliped the raptor

[horsham rc]

well thought if i can flip roll and hover invert with the trex 500 i can do it with the .60, hell yeah that was good didnt push my luck though only put one tank through her.

anyway so that was that then i put the trex 500 up and was tring to do a tick tok and it went rong and i smashed the trex 500
canopy bolts
main blades
main gear
bottom frame
skids
two servo gears
main push rod to fbl head
and maybe the fethering shaft and main shaft??

i blame the shit cheep blades i was using there not as wide as the 3d ones i had before and seam to have no lift its like i have to use all the pitch to get the heli to clime if that makes sence.
anyway bits ordered so up again soon i hope..
i wasnt comfatble with the blades on there tonight i shouldnt of flown the 500.

My Raptor has got a very slow roll rate, put quick uk mixing levers on it few more holes and it still pretty slow, mind you there still a lot I could do too try and liven it up, if ever you you get the chance make it FBL mine flies very well..............

Been thinking just that - sluggish response. Which set-up did you go for with your 50?

I was actually replying to JWatts007 - seemed to suggest his Raptor was fbl & I'm considering that for mine

Sorry for the confusion - I should've quoted him.
And apols for hi-jacking the thread too

I bought my 500 as a 'beater' to save crashing the Raptor sisters. So far, I crashed the Raptor 50 and not the 500 (or the 90 yet, thank goodness!). Mind you, the little bleeder is so quick, when something gets out of sync, it's over one way or the other fairly quickly!
Good luck with the rebuild.
