manilaheli My 2 cents,

This topic (Freya vs Raptor60 vs Fury) has been beaten to death more times than I care to remember.

Here's some good criteria to base your decision;

1. Local parts support - unless you go mail order for parts.

2. Skill level - if you still have a "weak spot" like maybe nose-in inverted hover, skip the Fury first, even though it has the best value in terms of what you get, it won't help you get better since it still costs more to fix versus a plastic fantastic. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I have both. X-Cells aren't a slap-em-on type of heli, it requires time and patience to build and maintain versus the other entry level 60s out there.

3. I like the Freya, but if you plan to use a 60 engine, the Raptor has a edge, it's more nimble even on a 60 engine.

4. If you prefer hovering performance, the Freya beats all. The Fury is "crisper" on aerobatics, the Raptor inspires confidence due to the low crash cost so it's not intimidating.

Good luck, whatever you choose.
