Default Got the heli..Got the engine..what next?

I know I'm a little biased but I really like the Min Air #526 pitch guage. It seems the windows are in the right place and its simple to use.

You'll also need a starter adapter. I think the Raptor uses a 6mm hex. If you already have a plank starter then I would get an adapter that lets you keep the start cup on your starter instead of one of the adapters that replaces the cup.

I use one with a one-way adapter built in as some of my helicopters require it. You might want to consider getting one now in case you continue with helis an get one that requires this type of adapter. I use the T&T but I don't see it listed at Ricks. It was only $30 so you might want to call them about it.

Also, the Raptor has a front facing engine so the glow plug is hard to access. If you don't already have one you should a remote glow extension.

Hope this helps,
