Raptor 50 Lifting power

[Pepacut2]

Hi Guys,

How many KG (or lb :) ) can I expect to lift with a Raptor 50, std TT50 engine and Muffler and GCT carbon 600 blades?

Just a general indication would be nice :)

umm 5 lbs or 2.27 kilos (more or less) It will fly like a truck and watch the clutch for excessive heat.

Thanks DebainDog.
Where do you get info like this? Trial and error?

What would be a safe weight to sling onto the Heli for non-agressive flying. Thinking of AP and such.

thanks for the quick reply.

Pretty much. I flew 5 lbs on my Raptor 60 and it flew O.K. I would guess I could fly maybe up to 10 pounds but it would auto like a brick if anything happened! (If you look in my signature) I decided for carrying things it would be better for -me- to get a gasser with HUGE blades. So for -me- 20 lbs "should" not be a problem for me but I do not carry more than 15 and actually my payload is probably closer to 12... I have not weighed the new setup yet.
