well it wasn't quick but the parts are mostly interchangable. a few exceptionsare tail boom, belt, blades, gears. Some parts are v2 specific. be sure to get that right.

It is a lot faster and a lot more powerful. I was amazed at the increase in power with the tt50. I never clocked it, but I would guess around 60 mph.

i have forgotten the number, but someone here has used a radar gun on one, it came up well over 50 MPH.

The 30 and 50 have the same frame and most of the same parts. the diferences are the 50 comes with a very nice one peice tuned muffler, longer boom and belt, carbon 600mm blades metal swash, and carbon frame brace (most of us don't use the brace though, it just gets in the way and offers littel support). it costs a bit more but it works out to be a much better deal than the 30. There are more rappy 50's than anything else in my area.

I guess I have good timing today....I had the local sheriff radar my Raptor 50 today. In a mild dive, 1800RPM head speed and a mediocre pilot at the sticks (me) it bumped 60MPH on the head. The sheriff said it might have read a little faster if I could have ran straight to wards him...which would have put the bird right over the flight line and vehicles. So it might be capable of 62-63ish.. So it might be capable of 62-63ish.

Here it is

Well, we radared mine yesterday. One way it hit 66mph, other way was 56mph. There was a little headwind one way. A couple more passes were all in the ballpark.
