here is a stupid question:

i was wondering, what it the head button for?

I too wonder what the head button is for other than the purpose of having a large surface area(button)to stop the mainhead w/the palm of your hand. IMO our left & right palms are substitute to the rotor disc brakes like some of the full size heli's(just my opinion).

I have tried stopping a chopper with a head button. Not that big of a difference in my opinion. In fact, it seems I have to push down a little harder to slow the rotor with the button, than with just my hand on the raptor. If the heli comes with one great, if not I would not worry about it.

its for those that are good enough to touch on the ground inverted!!


I like them for slowing down the head, doesnt catch your hand and try to throw it off, my raptor doesnt have one and Im not buying one for it though.

Ok Here ya go. The head button is a small button that you push when you wish to get some....Ohhhhhhh, never mind.!!!!

JonhVH,

have you seen anyone touch the ground with the button, or you were just kidding?

I have not done it, or seen it done, but I have seen the tips of blades scraped up from doing this!! there are some that can! I suppose if I had a button on mine Id try it once! maybe just a bounce on it, a crash kit is only $50
