New member of the fleet

[HeliRaptor]

Guys sorry I haven't been around much. I have been pretty busy as I am sure many if not all of you are too.

Anyhow, I decided to sell off my fleet except for the 90. I picked up a second 90 as well.

Here is a pic of the machines.

Both are Raptors one is a 90 STD and the other is the 90 SE. I am patiently waiting on the AVANT Aurora as my last machine (I know I said that 3 years ago with my 30).

Thanks.

As for the JT Baker, I recently moved and got the box from work, my daughters playstation controllers and games are there. Good guess though. LOL.

Hey, another guy waiting for the Aurora.

I still plan on getting one, too. I have 100% everything I need to get a 2nd 90 RTF, minus the kit.
What I did, instead of waiting, was I bought a brand new Avant EFX kit and a used Hirobo EVO 90.

I still remember the day my Avant kit came in the mail. It was a Friday afternoon, the day the Las Vegas Fun Fly began. I followed all of the Aurora videos that were just pouring out of Vegas. I got even more pumped and excited about the Aurora.
Then a major announcement was made.

HELIPROZ NOW ACCEPTING PREORDERS FOR THE AURORA

That was a Monday. just 3 days after I got my EFX. You can believe, that after spending several thousand dollars on my Avant, that I was cussing myself out. I thought, that after that announcement, the Aurora would be released within a matter of days or weeks.
We all know the rest of the story.
Due to lack of funding after I built my EFX, I didnt get on any of the preorder lists. I wanted to be, but couldnt. the $100 deposit was nothing. It was the $900 credit card bill that was going to show up after that. I just didnt know WHEN!

There is a bright side to every story.
In this case, I AM FLYING AN AVANT. Very few others are also. I feel really kinda good about that.

HeliRaptor, if you have never seen ANY Avant heli in person, you will be blown away by the quality these machines have to offer. As an already owner, I have a little better idea of what to expect with the Aurora. We are all going to love it!

Sweet helis. C'mon dennis, three is not enough. ;)

BTW, we all wished you a happy birthday in the birthday thread @ the heli lounge. :D
