How Are all the raptor people doing?

[newhelliguy]

I have 2 90's and 3 50's. I am in the process of converting one of the 90's to flybarless. I would like to convert a 90 to electric but not sure how to proceed.

I came from 450 electrics last summer and bought a ready built Raptor 50 Titan SE.
Still learning with it - one crash already.....but was so impressed with the 50, I built a 90SE to keep for BEST! This heli is awesome - so stable and well behaved (so far) I love it. Not flown it much yet (weather and rebuuilding my 50) but when the spring comes, it will get loads of airtime.
Happy flying guysKeith

My other 90 SE has a OS 91 SX-H PS engines any one have any experience with this motor? I bought it used and are not to comfortable buying used nirto engines but hope i dont have bought the cat in the bag It looks very good but have not started it yet

Sorry to hear about your crashes but the ting with these helicopters is that they are built like a tank.

That is a serious nice canopy ! wish i could get one , very nice man !

I converted my Raptor 60 to a 903D including every metal option I could find. This was Quite expensive , especially aflter the engine to an os91HZ and Hatori 20. I went with JR HV 8917s and 7100R with a 5000 Fromeco LI-ION . The only thing that I havent done is change to carbon frames. This was my 1st bird almost 9 years ago I purchased. After buying two Align 700 nitros and 700E FBL , I figured that I had learned enough about Helis to configure this Rappy to the big leagues,,, What a Heli.. It smokes my other Helis and is a JOY to fly.. The only down side is +11/ -11 pitch . I wish my 700s flew this well !!!

Had a fun day today 7 flight in total 5 with the FBL raptor and 2 with the FB one. Struggling with some vibration on the FB one (tail not holding) taking it apart today to see if i can find anything.



Just some pics of the FB Raptor naked (not very good quality)

I've seen so many posts about when will TT get in the game with a new model. My opinion on that has always been, why fix something that isn't broken.

I think you hit the nail right on the head when you said
".. It smokes my other Helis and is a JOY to fly.. The only down side is +11/ -11 pitch . I wish my 700s flew this well !!!"

as to the original posted question... I'll know maybe this weekend. If all goes well, I'll be flying again.

I agree with you on that, however, I'm wondering if TT is seeing their sales slump a bit with all of the other new offerings from other companies. May have been part of their reasoning. I dunno.

[seanh]

Yep, that's exactly their reasoning.

I can't wait till the new stuff is released...all that 90SE stuff that people will be unloading for cheap.

[maizor]

Looking forward to that as well. The only problem is that the G4 and E720 looks amazing and i need to have Selling my T700 have sold my T600 so got some room

No its just convincing the wife left
