I have a new century hawk pro .30 kit and I'm wondering what parts are needed to convert the above heli to a .50 sized heli??

Can you return the kit and buy the Raven kit?
It will cost you more money in the long run to convert the Hawk Pro into a 50 then it would be to just start with a Raven.
I do love my Hawk Pro though.
my 2 cents

I agree with DT. If you want a 50 - get the Raven...it is lower priced then most competitors 30's and is better then their 50's !!!

I was directed here for a comparison of the Hawk Pro, Kinetic 50 (more of a 50 sized Hawk) and the Raven 50 (more of a 50 sized Predator) awhile ago and I found it very worth reading if you want to understand the differences in the three.

One can take his small car and put a bigger engine, tranny, better brakes & suspension etc. and try to make it into its bigger brother, but in the end, it will cost him a lot more money and time, and he will still have the smaller car.

P.S. I am not speaking from heresay - I have had all three (still have my Hawk Pro and Raven) and find the Raven to be an exceptional 50...at any price....that is probably why RC Heli magazine recently gave it a 5 on 5 value rating in its recent test of the heli.
