We are still using wooden blades from Erc Taiwan as they are cheap to use and at this point, crashes are pretty much everyday thing. The heli has few alloy upgrades and a performance tuned pipe, for a little extra crunch. The radio gear consists of Spektrum DX6i transmitter and Spektrums twin recievers. The servos are all Futaba aswell is the gyro. The Gyro is Futaba GY401 with a Digital servo mounted on the tail boom. (Raptor Titan spec) The engine is from O.S. and it's a very popular choise for the Raptor world wide.

It seems like it can perform in wide variety of weather conditions. Here in Finland we have both, very warm and VERY cold wethers. This far, the Raptor has seen pretty much 0 degrees celsius, and we didn't even have to re-tune the engine what so ever. We hope to see some good flying next year as the season really kicks in again. At this time of the year, the training is very limited because of bad weather conditions (rain) and due the fact that it's dead dark at 4 pm. Our skills won't let us train at night time (e.g. dark) because we haven't yeat trained more that few months. Hopefully the skills grow up and wwe are able to show you people some nice flying soon =)
