Finless uses Rap 30 links on his vids and I have read of someone use cnc tailblade grips in the "Weight" thread, does anyone have both helis? what components are interchangeable? Might be useful to know in terms of spares and upgrades.

u can also use landing gear( have to drill new holes) and the flybar and padles think you can use the boom as well but you might have to shorten it.

I know it is not a Raptor, but a guy I work with has a Swirft and we measured and compaired a few things, like flybars, which would also mean paddles are the same size, and he put a a canopy from a hurricane on his swift. It looks like a few other head pieces might be interchangable. I know not much info, but its my two pennys.

Rappy boom is smaller diameter. You should be able to use a Hirobo Shuttle/Sceadu boom, but may have to cut.

I have a set of Rappy 30 boom supports to try when I get home from this business trip.

I also picked up a set of Rappy flybars to try, they are longer than H550, but shorter than Trex 600.

The raptor tail blades are the same length. I used them in a pinch. THey are pretty good but are not as stiff as the stock Gaui ones so the tail has a little less pop.
