Ok Here's mine: Front to back:

Trex 450SE v2 - GY401, 9250 tr servo, hs 65's, Align 450XL and esc, DX7

Raptor 50 v1 - OS 50 SXH (non hyper), helimax tuned pipe, CSM 360 w/ 9253 tr servo, TT blades, KSJ paddles and TR blades, Quick aluminum upgrades DX7

Raptor 60 v2 - OS 70 SXH w/ omi mod and cline regulator, CY muscle pipe, CYE radix blades, GY611 and servo, Throttle Jocky rev limiter, Sab and Funkey CF TR blades, CF frame stiffner, Aluminum rotor hub, JR dig. Servo's, DX7

pics:







I believe the Raptor 50 isn't going to see much flight time anymore b/c after getting my Trex and the Raptor 60, i'm impressed with the performance and stability more than i am with the smaller raptor.

Yes the Trex V2 is awesome. I have the same setup in both mine and love them. When you need new mains get the Radix blades, they fly awesome on that setup. I have one with the stock Align blades and one with the Radix blades other than that they are identical and you can definitly tell the difference.
Nice looking 60 also!

yea i got the radix blades on the 60. and so far i like them.. but i haven't done anything except for basic loops and rolls with it on its shake down flight. I can tell ya though, it gets better gas mileage than my 50 does!

I love my Trex.. the thing was definately WORTH the money. Now if my Trex 600 and Avant Aurora funds would show up so i can order those

Are those wooden blades your running with those shrek paddles,, (they do go with your shell though eh) What headspeed do you run? and if your throwing the helicopter about as im assuming as you have the green paddles, i'd suggest a set of carbon blades...

Today was the test flight day and it flys great.
Yes those are wooden blades.
I have a set of Curtis Youngblood cabon's on order and they will be here this week. I am taking it EZ untill I get the new blades.
Not sure about the head speed yet as I have not tacked it yet.

Hi Philng,

The canopy was custom painted by Bill Ludwig of Arizon Heli. You let him know what you want and he'll do it. His service is second to none, and when I emailed him, I had a reply within 2 minutes !!!!![X(] He does have some 'off the shelf' canopies but most are painted on request, with whatever decals you want on it.
You will find Arizona Heli [link=http://www.arizonaheli.com/]HERE[/link]. Because each canopy is custom painted, you do have to wait for it to be done, but it is worth the wait !! The pictures just don't do the canopy justice. []

I just came across this post while going through the forums,, I use shermin williams base-coat clear coat on all of my heli stuff,,and planes (.. I paint cars fora living,, ,so,its a bit easyer for me) it doesnt matter what kind of automotive paint ya use,, or if its single stage or 2 -stage,, its the best ,,, for doing anything you want,,, just layout yer color,, with the design of of your choice,, the base coat dries in minutes if ya have a foo-barr,, ta fix,, then come back and spray your clear over it,,,.. your best luck in getting this paint is too find a local body shop,, and see what can get your hands on,, here in ca,,, I dont think its legal for the general public,, too buy atomotive paint ,, but thats here,, this state is abnormal,, cough,,,,, I have used automotive 2 stage -paint on a few of my friends high dollar formula -one racers ,, they love it!! hint,,,,, I am an expert in the paint, field,, not the best speller,,any questions feel more than free too ask,,,,,

Here is my 2nd Raptor on the night before its first flight. Moose is doing the final checks.

The body and canopy were colored with Ritz dye. The tail feathers were dyed black with Ritz dye also.
