Looks like a Raptor 60 V1. Red gears on tail, V2 were white as best I can remember.

Blade length is 610mm tip to tip, frame all plastic. I need to order a few spares and i'm looking for a manual to download, hence the need for the model.

Still pretty sure that it's a 50.. the 60 had a different looking frame with aluplates and much longer blades, somewhere around 660-680 if my memory serves me right.

Google some pics

Yep, judging from the tail case,boom and frame. I would say it's a Raptor 50.
Even looks like a 50 hyper engine.
I hope this is of some small help.
Regards

If you are fixing it up make sure you change those red tail gears. They were an issue. Very brittle. Caused so many crashes that Ace (distributor at the time) gave free replacements. The red tail drive gear on the main shaft was OK. But the others on the torque tube were an issue. Just FYI...

Its a 50, definitely not a 60 or 90. If the frames have little clips to keep the gyro wiring neat then its a V2 (or possibly V3) otherwise if they are not there, its a V1. In V2 they changed the head and clutch/start shaft areas quite a bit, and a V3 had a longer boom (and therefore tail drive belt). The red parts are guide pulleys for the tail drive belt, not gears and should be fine as long as the bearings are ok.

Hope that helps.

After previous responses I've had a closer look, it's got an OS 50 motor in it, and having downloaded the manual I've got what I needed. Now to strip clean and check this bird from nose to tail as it has been neglected quite badly. Any ideas what these are going for second hand?
