I just finished building my Raptor 50SE on Friday and today was the first day I really let it out. I'm still just doing figure of 8s, forward flight and nose in but boy did I have a blast. I was previously flying a T-Rex and this is such a big step up!

Welcome to club Nitro! I have a raptor 50 myself and its my favorite heli. I also have a trex SE, but it doesn't stack up against the raptor. Good Luck with your new heli! Happy Flying!

Yep! I love my TRex but they just do not compare in my opinion. Wait till you fly a 90 sized!

I also took the plunge and maidened my 50 last night. Flew three tanks and did all sorts of stuff that I would never have dared to do with my T-Rex. What a rush!

Very Nice Evo 50. Yeah, I've been doing Autorotations with my Raptor and would not do it with the T-Rex. You're right. it is a rush!
