Zoro, I just finished it tonite, so I havent flown it yet. But I imagine it'll fly just like a rappy. It isnt as heavy as a full fuselaged scale ship. Hope to try it tomorrow. This is a Century/Schweizer 300 part# CN 1033A......

Much better looking on the Rappy than the Hawk IMO..
Post some flying pics when you get a chance.

Nice job, Dave! What did you have to modify on the fuselage/mechanics to adapt to your R50?

The only mod needed for the Raptor was to reposition the t/r linkage to make way for one of the brackets that mount the boom supports for the Schweizer. New fuse mount brackets needed to be made for the canopy, but that was no big deal. And then I used the raptor landing struts, but made longer skids..............................Dave

5/16ths hydraulic brake line?

Looks sweet, Dave! Now you need some nav lights. Maybe a strobe on the tail.

And where is the pilot for this bird? You gotta put a pilot in it. How many full scale choppers have you seen flying around without anyone at the helm??????

Inquiring minds want to know
