Ok. Just finished converting my raptor 50 titan se to FBL.
Setup is as follows:

Servos ds 615/655
Ar7200bx
O.s 55hz-h with redline pipe
Pushglow
Rotorstar Bec w/pinflag
RJX fbl head

I have to say i'm really impressed with the old girl

roll and flip-rate is off the charts compared to FB. Super stable in FFF and fuel consumption is low compared to my 700's.
Moral of the story: If you are considering converting your old rappy to FBL... DO IT

it's freaking awesome

Gaarden,

Very cool!

I did this to my old Raptor last year-it really does speed them up!

I used a Compass/TracX head and a Robird in mine.

I want to upgrade the Raptor 90 3D next!

Sounds great! I was looking at this Skookum 540 I have and was thinking about doing that on my Raptor. It is stuffed inside an A350 right now. I couldn't find the Raptor conversion anywhere though.

Where could one get these FBL heads?

the thunder tiger heads are not available at the moment

Let me know if you get it to work with the Skookum 540. I did give it a try with a Trex600 FBL head but the original swashplate. Could not get it to stop oscillating. I even had someone from Skookum asking me the settings. I gave up after I crashed it while 1m off the ground. I have put the original head and gyro back but after a year now, still have not flown it.
