Yep, you definitely get a manual. Do yourself a favor when you assemble it and follow along with RaptorTechnique.com's assembly instructions. I went by those instructions, primarily, and also followed along in the TT manual. A couple of things are done in a little different order here and there, but the RaptorTechnique instructions are much more detailed and step-by-step. The TT manual pretty much just has exploded view diagrams to show assembly.
Here's a link to the RaptorTechnique assembly instructions page...

When you look at these instructions without the parts in front of you, it doesn't look all that easy to follow, but believe me, when you sit down to build it, you'll be glad to have these instructions! Much better than trying to figure out where to start with the TT Manual's exploded views! I assembled mine in my home office, right next to my PC, so I just followed along with my web browser. If you can't do that, at least get a good color printout, if you can.

I printed out the instructions on raptor technique. I am using these and the manual to put the heli together, so far the extra advice has really come in handy. By the way this is an easy kit to build, compared to my X-cell pro.

Glad to help out a soon-to-be fellow Raptor 50 V2 Pilot!!
I got exact same kit from Heliproz, BTW. Also got my Futaba 9CHP from them, along with my servos and gyro. They discount the Futaba prices, even though their not allowed to show the lower price on their website. If you don't have a radio yet, and are going to get a Futaba, give them a ring and get a quote, or you can probably just email and ask for a quote, too.
You're going to have a blast with it when you get it running... I know I am!
Hope you either have prior heli experience, or are practicing on a simulator, like RealFlight G2. My only experience was on the G2 sim, and I was hovering after a tank or two of nitro. I've run about a gallon and a half through it so far... fun, fun, fun! I'm sure I'll go through at least another gallon this 4th of July weekend!
EDIT: BTW, you should probably check the balance on the carbon blades that come with the kit, just to be sure, but mine were dead on! I haven't messed with the woods that also come in the box. When I get a chance, I'll probably glue on the grips and balance them so I have them for spares, but the TT carbons are very nice so far!

Hey PKH help me out here is this a good price for a radio?? Excellent 8-channel radio, very large and easy to read screen. PCM set comes with (5) 811 Sport Digital servos (.18 speed, 54 oz torq) and a very compact R770 PCM 7 Channel PCM receiver. CCPM capability, all of the mixers (2) and flight modes (3+hold, each with 5 point pitch and throttle curves) that 95% of us need regardless of style of flying. WE will pay the shipping in cont. USA by UPS ground! PRICED AS SHOWN FOR $479.99 Like you said i would have to call heliproz... Am planning on getting a JR radio is there a difference from the one u got?
