Im in the same boat as genexis, I have been told by another SG member who has done his homework that the raptor30v2 is cheeper to fly and repair. Also more upgrade friedly in terms of engines and better performace.
Im thinking of flying in the face of advice because Im interested in a scale body and Hirobo makes nice bodys that are relativly easy to fit. Fitting a body to the raptor would require plenty of modling skill and time. Once/if I have outgrown the shuttle's performace Id probably go for a Sceadu 50 which also has some nice scale bodys available (greedy bugger wants two heli's )
One other consideration that makes me sway towards the Shuttle plus is the dealer, Singapore Hobby Supplies really impressed me.
The staff were happy to spend time taliking over the options with a moron like me and no pressure to purchase. Cant say the same for the other dealers "want or not ah !" is the normal sales pitch.
Im thinking of the 9 channel radio for future use even though its 300 bucks more.
What engine should I go for bearing in mind I intend to fit a scale body, what I really mean is whats the biggest engine the sucker will take [>:]
Oh by the way, Hi all, its my first post.
