Tanner,

I find absolutely nothing lacking in the Raptor and will probably upgrade it as my skills improve. I have it powered with an OS 50SX-H now and that is more than I need at the moment. I just want a second heli for some variety and backup in case something happens to the Raptor and I figured that as long as I was buying I would try to find something a little more advanced if possible. It's not that I don't like the Raptor, in fact it will still be my primary machine, I just don't want to own two of the same thing. Does that make any sense to anybody but me?

I have a Hirobo GPH now for a backup. I bought it used for a backup and have never flown it although it is fully ready to fly. I have seen it fly since I bought it and it flys great. It is just getting a little out of date and I wanted something more modern. I am thinking of selling the GPH as either a heli and engine combo or ready to fly with a Futaba 7CHP and GY401 and servos. It would be a good heli for someone to learn on or keep for parts if they already own one. When I decide what heli I want to buy, I will list it in both versions on the classifieds and see what happens.

I have some friends at IRCHA now and I want to talk to them when they return and see what they have learned about new products before I make a decision.
