Wah. Unfortunately you'll either have to troll eBay for them or craft your own. Fortunately, the kRaptor is pretty easy to fabricate for. I used all the old school techniques to patch up my...

Yes but all I had to do was drill new screw holes in the cowl.

Anybody still fly this crate? I took mine up again, finally, last weekend. I managed to install a proper flight battery properly, at the field, at the last minute. A nice 1100 mah LiFe 2 cell...

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

My kRaptor hangs prominently on my hobby room wall. It now has a LiPo flight battery secured neatly all the way in the rear of the fuselage. It still has a full charge after about a year. With the...

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Happy New Year kRaptor fans! [:-]

The weather here has been kRap lately but I got my kRaptor off the wall for inspection, test, and battery upgrade.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

That's a cool clean look Tommy!

I got a date with my kRaptor this Sunday. I want to do some minor surgery on her prior - the receiver pack is old and I have a nice new 2S LiPo that will provide...

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong - I do love my kRaptor - when I plan everything out to the last minute detail, get her flying and score decent landing - I get a huge rush and that's what its all about.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Cool! [8D]

I noticed your landing approach - dive at the runway, then flare. I am jealous of your huge landing area!!

For me, its much more like a carrier landing. [:'(] My runway is...

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Oh yeah there are a lot kRaptors and parts out there. Part of the fun of this bird is its cheap parts - I have a complete ARF as a backup I got for $99 delivered.

eBay is great.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Dude, welcome to the world of the few and the very weird RC pilots who at least *tolerate* this plane.

My bird - takeoffs are a no-brainer. Just keep her straight, jam the throttle and pull up slightly - she...

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Yes - for more relaxed cruising around I like .5" flaps down. I only bring the flaps up to zero when I switch in high rates for loops, rolls, inverted flight, but that's just me.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Great!! You came back with a free plane! :D Under those conditions, I would have fared much worse I'm afraid.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

Whoa! I stand corrected - funny though, my RTF backup kit has them installed, with a Reversed Servo. But, I got it Used so the previous owner must've done it that way. Kewl for me.

RE: Hangar 9 F-22 Raptor PTS

I think I have to disagree - in the kRaptor, you have pre-made mounting positions in the wings for the Flaps servos, which are optional. To somehow mount a standard servo in backwards does not seem...
