Probably gonna switch out my .50 frame durring the spring. I like the century helis and would like to have a Raven or a Falcon. Raptor has been overdone and I was trying to get something different.

How do the Raven and Falcon do with 3D flight compared to the Raptors?

Are the R&F similar to the preditors in mechanics?

Thanks

I cant say alot on the 3d flying of the raven/ falcon over the raptor As I have not flown any of them much. The Falcon is standard mix heli, the raven is CCPm mixed.
The Raven has alot of the looks of the Predator in the head, but smaller parts.
You can use a few metal upgrades off the Predator for the Raven, hence the pic floating around of the Raven SE from Century. The Raven/ Falcon use the same frame design. They use servo mounting brackets to make the Raven CCPm.

It was the same case like me Gixxer. All guys in my club are on thunder tiger raptor 50 and 60. Last year, when I bought my heli, I searched for a different machine, to be unique a little bit. So, I bought a Falcon SE III.

Wow, this bird is flying pretty well!!! The performance is looks like a Raptor 50. Falcon comes with some upgrade part already installed to compare to a stock Raptor 50. My body have a Raptor 50 and we fly all the time togheter. So, it's easy for me to compare both.

But, between a Falcon and Raven or Hawk, I have no idea for the comparaison. Rodney is more placed to answer to this question! :wink:
