My very first AP test shots

[Whirly-Girl]

It was late in the evening so I know the lighting is very poor. I'm just super excited that my Raptor picked up my HCS Pro 60-3X and flew very stable. I routed the exhaust back using 3/8" ID Aerotrend exhaust stack followed by 3/8" OD brass tubing soldered to 3/8" ID brass tubing. The wind was non-existent tonight and therefore and I stll had some exhaust get sucked back toward the front.

These are test shots just to look for vibration and to see how well the Raptor would handle. I didn't take it up any more than 40-50 feet.

Thank you all here on HeliFreak for having a positive attitude and encouraging my wife (WG) to stay motivated. With our encouragement she is still moving forward with her business and flies her Raptor confidently.

After putting in the Bergen I thought she was done for a while, but it looks like things are happening!

Anyway, thanks for all of your help. :D

good news! glad to hear that yoru Raptor is working out!

some folks think Raptors are not "professional" enough. The way I see it is any kind of machine that can put a camera in the air reliably and smoothly is professional in my book.

keep at it!
