Check out this beauty

Anyone know when its going to be available?

What's the diff compared to the Sceadu 50 ? Or are they the same, just marketing names ?

Hi,

There is a huge difference. Just take a closer look at the rotor head, swashplate and linkage. Head components are almost metal, swash is metal ccpm and it has dual linkage. Aren't they beautiful? God, I can't wait...

How does the Raptor 50 V2 compare with the Sceadu 50 ? Are spare parts for the Sceadu more expensive ?

Sceadu 50 3D is based on exisitng design with more metallic parts.

Hirobo will launch another evolution design of Sceadu .

I just bought the Sceado 50. Will I be able to upgrade to the Evolution and how much will it cost?

I finally bought a Raptor 50 V2

Hi Jason, could you share your analysis on why you decided for the raptor 50 instead of sceadu 50 ? Both are good IMO

The Raptor 50 V2 I bouhgt is equiped with TT 50 engine with muffler and SAB blade.

The selling price of Raptor 50V2 and Sceadu 50 is instead very close, around US$ 360 - 400 with TT50 or OS 50 engine.

Many people here (at least in the playfield I usually visited) are flying Raptor.

Price of the parts is my another concern. I noticed that Raptor's parts were selling lower price than Sceadu. I will think that raptor's crash price index would be lower than Sceadu's.

Parts' durability is also one of my concerns. I think the plastic parts of Raptor 50V2 was more durable than the plastic parts of Sceadu 50.

just some of my ideas

my new raptor 50 v2

Wow, congrats ! Was this a kit or arf ? Keep us posted on your flying..........Just out of curiosity, in your earlier post you mentioned that the raptor's plastic parts were more durable than the sceadu's. What are your reasons for saying this ? It's kind of surprising as Japanese molding technology is advanced........

Jason, is that you hovering in the car park? I remember there's another jason in HK who runs a nice heli website

I wish to be but I'm not.

He is Ken Fan. He always fly with us every Sunday. He teaches us some basic skill of 3D manoeuvres.

I'm still learning how to fly inverted.
