Hi, I'd like to bling up my completely stock rappy 60.
Which are the first upgrades you suggest I should consider for it, I'm just learning to fly so no 3d for the moment. I'd like to spend some money in parts that (apart from making it look nice) would improve in the flight quality and/or make it safer (but will survive a regular crash so no very fragile stuff for the moment)
Suggestions anyone???

90 size upgrade. Metal headblock. Thats all you need.

90 sized ;)
and/or
- run lighter paddles
- better main blades (I am gonna try VBlade 690s)
- carbon fiber tail blades
- max you cyclic throw to the point where you have full throw, but no binding (My Raptor 60 flips well but rolls like a pig)
If you really want it to fly well pick up an after market head from Kasama or Quick UK :wink:

I'm not sure I want to go .90 yet. I barely run in my OS-70, so it will have to last a bit longer.
I thought about the metal head but I wasn't sure which one (now I know, if seem like it's going to be the QUK).
What about these ones?
CF frames, is it worth it? Or they just look cool.
Metal bearing blocks (upper and lower).
Metal swash plate?

I like my Raptor 60 just fine with a 60 in it but it does not fly as hard as my Predator. I would stick with the OS 70 too (be careful to watch the temps on that thing)
The QUK head is a good one (or so I have heard)
If you are a GOOD pilot you will want the CF frames to lighten it up.
Blocks are a good idea.
I have never had a problem with my swash but you reminded me of something else. Get a metal cooling fan. Quick UK makes those too. ;)

Thanks DebianDog, well it seems like the CF frames will have to wait (until I become a good pilot)
