Default old Raptor? does any one know?

I was given this heli from a friend that found it while cleaning out a house. Can any one tell me what make and model.
It has a TT36 in it that has never seen fuel..missing all the links, and rusted from sitting in the basement.
Any info would be appreciated..

Not a Raptor

That pitch arm makes it look like a Shuttle to me

Noticed that most nitro raptors have the paddles above the mains.(50's have paddles below)
A few TT electrics have paddles below..might have been a project that never made it .the 36 is pretty much new besides the wethering..i assumed it was a raptor from the tt motor..any idea what year.. is it worth..putin back together(restor)?
Single booms suport dosnt match the shuttle..engine and all parts look to be stock..

Looks like an older Century Hawk.

You can pick up a good use Raptor for 300 bucks or so  right here in the forums, I'd go that route and keep that engine for when you wear out the new one.
