I purchased a raptor 60 frame without servo's, engine, gyro, reciver, battery and harness. So, I thought I would ask around what others like/dislike about their set-up so that I might piece together a great bird.

Looking forward to hear ing what you have. Also, price is somewhat a concern, but, not at the expense of truly less quality componentry.

Hey RichAustinTx: I don't have a 60, but here are my setups for my 2 Rap-90 3D's. They should give you a good base from which to start. If I could make one recommendation.....Don't skimp on electronics. It witll save you more in the long run if you can avoid flight failures by using good equipement. So here are my setups, and good luck with your heli

Raptor 90 3D #1

O.S. .91 sz, stock raptor fan, with Hatori pipe, running CYB Wildcat 30% fuel.
Stock Raptor head using Infinavation dampers.
Elevated RC tail case: http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=254011
JR 8717 servos on pitch, cyclic, and elevator.
Futaba 9250 on throttle...It's fast :-)
JR 770 3D gyro with 8900g tail servo with gain set at 12% since I use Futaba radio.
Multigov Pro set at 1900/1950 Idle up 1 and 2 with stock 8.27 gear ratio.
Outrage 5000mh 7.4v 2s lipo receiver pack...Fly 7-10 flights before recharge.
Duralite 5.4 voltage regulator. No need for stepdown regulator on tail servo.
Futaba heavy duty switch harness. Gotta do some frame trimming to make it fit.
Radix 690mm main blades and 105mm tail blades.
Futaba 12 FGH 2.4 Fasst system with 8 channel receiver.
Lots and lots of practice.

Raptor 90 3D # 2

YS .91 sr with metal cooling fan, Hatori pipe, and same fuel.
Kasama Head: http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/128609
Elevated RC tailcase: http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=254011
JR 8717's on pitch, cyclic, elevator, and throttle. Overkill on throttle :-)
Futaba 611 gyro with BLS 251 tail servo and Duralite .5 volt stepdown regulator with gain set at 32%.
Multigov Pro set at 1800/1900 Ildle up 1 and 2 with 8.18 modified gear ratio.
Outrage 5000mh 7.4v 2s lipo receiver pack.
Align 2 in 1 voltage regulator at 6 volts.
Futaba heavy duty switch harness.
Radix 690mm main blades and 105mm tail blades.
Same radio and receiver of course :-)
Lots and lots of practice.

Good luck to you again, and don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions

x2 on not skimping on electronics...and good battery (lipo) and monitor for both battery and engine temp.
