As Brin says check out Adam Turners flights with his Raptor 50. Also, I'm sure Matt Lodge has some pretty handy Raptor 50 flights here:

as i've seen a rappy 30 3d very well then yes the 50 will 3d
i'm not saying i could do it though
and the pilot flying the rappy 30 a few years ago was competing in the master/expert class at the champs last weekendHirobo Turbulence D3

If yours is the pic in your avatar I would guess it is a Raptor 50 V2 based just on the canopy profile butOriginally posted by nitros View PostDo you know which model is my?

Of course the raptor 50 will 3D.
The std black paddles are quite heavy and make the cylic slow (and the heli v stable) - you can fit some superlight "Greenies", also avialable in blue - or you could try some 600n paddles.
You need a powerful and fast collective servo to get a snappy collective pitch response.
The plastic collective tray twists under load - a metal upgrade there makes the collective more snappy.
Be sure to upgrade the aluminim tail hub to stainless steel as the std one tends to break and throw the tail blades. I had that. I fitted a 600n tail hub to my raptor - it bolts straight on alternative is the Quick UK version.
Violent 3D can distort the plastic head block. A metal head block and hard dampers is a good upgrade if you are wanting to do stuff like tick tocks.
The tank is a bit small so flights are short. Leave it like that for minimum weight, or you can squeeze a raptor 60 tank in there just.
Only a small percentage of 3D manoevres need the full power and light weight of the latest helis. You can learn every move and orientation on a raptor before you need to upgrade.Last edited by moyesboy; 02-10-2011, 03:54 PM.www.heli-extreme.co.uk a good club in south Sheffield
