Flight time for raptor 50?

[Sneaglebob]

Hello everyone. Does anyone know the flight time for the raptor 50 se on a full tank?

[pekeqpeke]

depends a lot on what engine you have and your flying style (aggressive 3D or sport flying).

i have a OS 50 hyper and fly on idle up for the tank with headspeed of 1800 give or take

mostly flips loops and rolls. a tank will last me about 8 minutes (never really timed it though)

I have the same engine, similar flying and I get about the same for time.

I get 9-10 min at 1900 rpm head speed, same motor as about with Hatori SAB50 BW muffler. Light to general flying.

Yep - sport flying - loops, rolls, stalls etc, I get about 9 mins with my R50 running OS50 Max SX-H. Similar with my 90 too, except it has a bigger tank and drinks that much more fuel to do the 9 mins. Anything over 10 mins indicaates to me that I am too lean.
Here's that other shot of the various sizes I mentioned in my pm.
Cheers

I know most wont believe it but just flying around, with no 3-D I get between 16 to 18 minutes.. and yes I have witnesses :)

Does it fly OK with a 40 gallon drum of fuel bolted under the Raptor? ;)

What conditions do you fly in, re altitude, head speed, engine temp etc ?

To get this flight time you must be using the stock thunder tiger engine
