I have a Hirobo Freya Eagle 60 that I traded my Trex for as for flying it no not yet I have still got to get all of the field gear but I did fly a raptor 30 that belongs to a friend of mine and compared to my Voyager E the raptor is much better.I spent about 2 years with nitro Monster trucks and no the heli's are not as loud as the monster trucks at all.To get a Raptor 50 kit with all that you need to fly it it will cost around $1500.00 to $2000.00 dollars depending on what you need and what you already have.Since I already have a radio and traded for the Freya I will probably be putting out about $500.00 dollars.Well all I am off on Vacation will see you all in a week.[:D]
