Anyone using a Raptor 60 or JR vigor for AP?

[ddierking]

Guys and gals, I'm going to get a little bit bigger ship to use for AP. I have been using my stinger 50 and have been very happy with it. Please don't try to talk me into a gasser, tried it and its not for me.

I'm just curious if others are using a raptor 60 or JR Vigor? Can't decide which one to get.

Thanks,
Dan

I have used my Rappy 60 but switched to a gasser because of the smoke.

I have used an exhaust tube extension with good results on my stinger 50.

just stretch a Raptor 50 to run 690's and run a Hyper 50. You'll have more payload capacity and it will auto better.

I`m using r60v2 with a nikon 7900, but the problem is too much fuel on my mount, so I`m trying to find a silicone tube extension...

I got my silicone extension from my local hobby shop. I have the tube pointing out towards and attached to the tail boom. Take a look at my nitro setup on my webpage.

Run a 5/8 aluminum tube all the way back slightly past the vertical fin as an exhaust extension. This is what I do on my Raptor 90 with a 91 Hyper in it and it works great at keeping the goo and smoke away from the camera. I attach it to the muffler exhaust nipple with a piece of 5/8 id silicone tube and zip ties. It works great on glow Raptor 50s too. I also cut the end of the tube off at a 45 deg angle.

Try it, it works!

I cant find any silicone tube here in Greece so I`ll try an alu extention...

A TRex 450 Tail Boom (x2) is just right for an exhaust extension, i'm using it on my Knight 50 Pro, joined to the muffler with a piece of silicone tube.
I'm using aluminium booms which are pretty light, but you could go for carbon!
