Default RE: Quick question...

Glad to help out a soon-to-be fellow Raptor 50 V2 Pilot!!

I got exact same kit from Heliproz, BTW. Also got my Futaba 9CHP from them, along with my servos and gyro. They discount the Futaba prices, even though their not allowed to show the lower price on their website. If you don't have a radio yet, and are going to get a Futaba, give them a ring and get a quote, or you can probably just email and ask for a quote, too.

You're going to have a blast with it when you get it running... I know I am!

Hope you either have prior heli experience, or are practicing on a simulator, like RealFlight G2. My only experience was on the G2 sim, and I was hovering after a tank or two of nitro. I've run about a gallon and a half through it so far... fun, fun, fun! I'm sure I'll go through at least another gallon this 4th of July weekend!

EDIT: BTW, you should probably check the balance on the carbon blades that come with the kit, just to be sure, but mine were dead on! I haven't messed with the woods that also come in the box. When I get a chance, I'll probably glue on the grips and balance them so I have them for spares, but the TT carbons are very nice so far!
