New Raptor Pilot, signing on!

Callsign: Markind

I just got done reading all 10 pages of this thread, thanks all for the great chat and pics!!!

I am a perfect customer for this plane. I have lots of stick time on full-house controls, and can fly my Multiplex MiniMag and F-27C Stryker with confidence. I like to think I am well within the Intermediate pilot skill level. I like the look of this bird, too. I like the PTS features.

I now belong to a club where nitro is the norm and was looking at stepping up into my next plane.

This Raptor ARF looks like a fun way to go. I read all the on-line reviews, two mag articles, and have been playing with the FSOne sim model of this plane.

That is some pretty intense marketing, that sim model. I found myself just taxiing around, going OOooohhh, Ahhhhhh...

Based on what I have read, plus what I see in the sim model, I am going ARF and I am going with OS .55ax. I already have an AR6000 on hand, but I'll still need everything else.

I'll post up and throw up a pic or two as I progress.

Cheers!
