My Posts This: Topic Forum | Build review on Klone RC 50 size Heli Kit (KL1001) - Silver CF
IMO this is the best “Raptor” ever, it is an interesting mix of a Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 airframe/drive with an impressive new eCCPM geometry.
In each kit you can choose to use either 120* or 140* CCPM control! The eCCPM conversion kit is also for sale separately would you wanna convert your R50. IMO this is the best upgrade you can buy for a Raptor, having owned a R50V2 myself I could really tell the difference.
They offer the kit in various anodized colours, blue, red and silver and there is also a choice for a GF or CF eCCPM servo tray, I build the silver anodized CF version Klone RC 50 size Heli Kit (KL1001) - Silver CF.
They also include a “KLONE” 50-size muffler which I ran on my OS50 Hyper, the muffler is quite good, it is really quiet and makes decent power!
You basically get a fully upgraded Raptor which has all the bling/metal you would like to have. The quality of the carbon and metal is really good!
Building the heli was no biggie certainly having owned / built Raptors before, the fit of the eCCPM tray is just 100% really nicely done!
I’ve flown it several times now still braking in the motor but it flies really good, it feels lighter than a Raptor and it is certainly more agile.
Take a look at some of the pictures I shot after I completed the build video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvM4UuQu7sU
I will try and shoot some video while flying the KLONE some time soon, so check for updates!
