Good Morning

I need some advice. Here in South Africa we are 5500ft above sea level and a 32 or 37 engine is not stable in windy conditions or at this altitude.
I would like to install a Raptor 30 in a Long Ranger Fuselage with a OS 46 engine. Now I need to know the following:
1. Will a OS 46 engine do the trick and if so what changes need to be made on the Raptor 30?
2. Does the Raptor fit into the body as is?
3. Does the tail blades remain on same side?
4. What muffler is required?
5. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
I have not seen this type of heli flown before.

Well, it is even better if you put OS 50 hyper engine but since you going to use a Raptor 30 kit then OS 46 is the best choice for the 30 size heli kit.
- the raptor will fit into this fuselage
-the tail blades will remain on the same side as if they where in the original raptor kit
-if you have already a 30 size muffler then you can still use it
-Take care only of the main frame mounting holes because mostly long ranger fuselage comes with ready drilled holes which will fit the 30 size hirobo shuttle yet the only thing you will have to do is just to make a new four holes which will fit the raptor main frame kit.

Good Luck
