I have a raptor 30 from about 4 years ago. Not sure if a V2 or not. Regardless, can I still source parts, etc. for this model or is it absolete? I also have a JR 8103 radio – same question applies. Any comments welcome. Thanks –

Absolutely, Raptor parts are abundant for the v1 and v2. The easiest way to tell your version is to look at the canopy. If the canopy has a big belly under the nose it's a version 1, if its streamline it's a version 2. In the picture below the the v1 is on the left and the v2 is on the right. Another way to tell is to look at how the main rotor grips are secured, if you see a nut and two phillips screws holding the bearing stack in place its a version 1, if you see a hex bolt and nothing else its a version 2. (The left pic is version 1, the right pic is version 2)

Two really good places to get Raptor parts (if your LHS doesn't carry them) is www.heliproz.com and www.rcheli.com

Barracuda Hockey –

That would be great. Dad is supposed to be sending my r/c heli, etc. from Dallas soon. I would like to go through set up, etc. with someone knowledgeable. I live in Westchase – there is a flying field off of Linebaugh. Appreciate it -
