Well their not famous at our fields, I have never seen a 'startup shake' sounds like a balancing problem which could explain why you have a reliability problem with your Rappy.

A agree the Raptor manual blows but so do most of the manuals!!! Very few have good manuals. I would prefer a good heli over a good manual. It's not like your going to be using the manual for next couple of years.....

Most of the cheaper heli's have lots of slop and still fly great. Look at the Shuttle - it invented the sloppy heli, but it flies real well with all that slop.

I like something that works well, flies well and is reliable. When I think of ships like the Kalt Enforcer, Concept and few others that don't fly too well, who cares if they have tighter linkages or a better manual.

We have many Rappies at our fields. They don't fall apart (except the boom supports) and fly out of the box with no upgrades.

I would like to see a Sceadu, it looks nice, but we have none at our fields. The JR Venture so far looks good, but we have only 1 guy flying one.
