PinRaptor 50 V2

  To begin, in 2003, I chose a Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 V2.
I started aeromodelling with this heli, I learnt to fly with it.

When I begun this heli had a good quality-price ratio, and the spare parts was available and not expensive.

For the engine I chose the TT 50 (the same brand as the heli). I was beginner and I didn't need an engine with very high performances. I chose this engine because its price was very interesting and its fuel consumption is lower than the OS engine.

Later I changed the setup by changing the engine with an OS Max-50SX-H Ring Hyper, adding a governor, and using a 2.4GHz RX powered by LiPo.
