Raptor 90

[Flexcoffey]

Let me start off by saying I'm knew as can be to flying helicopters, but my question is would a raptor 90 kit with no motor at a good price be a good starter copter or to much for a beginner. (i've been flying simulator for about a month and own no helicopter as of yet.)

I would suggest a Raptor 90 only if you have someone available that you could buddy box with. It would only take a couple crashes before you would be scared into not pushing your talents...not progressing, etc.

I started with a raptor 50 and didn't progress all that fast b/c fear of crashing (ie replacing those carbon blades). I got a TRex a month ago and have progressed so fast in this last month. I know the big birds are impressive, but do a reality check before getting one as a starter heli.
