Best place to ask might be the PH model forum

This seems to be THEE place for all stuff radio controlled

I got a parkzone raptor thing last summer and got loads of info on how to make it goo reet fast from there.

Anyone want to buy it off me??? Yours for £40??

Spotted one of those in the Duxford shop.

Very impressed. It just might get me back into flying......

Read somewhere the battery needs to be secured with something like glued-on velcro. It can fall out of the hatch and ooops your plane.....

But it malfunctioned and flew straight up flat out and smashed against my ceiling but it will be rebuilt

I hadn't noticed that either!

i've only got 6 forums showing in my preferences so i'm a bit blinkered!

about the P51 battery hatch......i've read about that one so will be forearmed before i fly!


cheers for the replies

p.s. can a mod move this thread to the Scale models forum please?
