Raptor 30
The raptor
is well known to most club flyers, and is one of the very best
starter (and advanced) 30 size helicopters on the market. It never
ceases to amaze me just how easy they are to build, how cheap
to buy and fix - and once you get the hang of it - how well they
fly advanced aerobatics. My other favorite is the Hirobo Sceadu
30/50 (replaced the Shuttle ZXX). The Hirobo is a little more
expensive and a little more complicated, and maybe is better considered
as a next step after the Raptor.
Locally I
know 2 new Raptor owners, one an experienced flyer doing circuits
and nose in, the other a complete beginner. Both had little trouble
building the kits, making comments how smooth and positive all
the components fitted together. They both flew great too, with
no vibrations of awkward flight traits.
Below are
two pictures of a raptor 30 decked out in USA sticker kit. These
kits are available from Midland Helicopters, and I am told are
only £12, great value. The last two pictures also show th
UK kit.
