Ive noticed that there are raptor fans everywhere. I was wondering if anyone had a openinion on the Hirobo X-Spec? I will be getting one soon, but am eventually im thinking about getting a 50 or 60 size raptor but not quite sure which raptor is better. Any help will be appriciated and thanks.
Happy flying :cool:

If your a beginner to intermediate, the Raptor 50 is a wonderful model. If your more advanced, and have lots of money, you can go for the Raptor 90. I wouldn't really go with a 60 because it's basically a 90 with less power, about like the 30 is to the 50.

Im not rich lol the government doesnt pay enough so it looks like ill be looking at the 50 size raptor. As for the x-spec doesnt look like there are many hirobo people out there any more, but i cant pass up a good deal. So ill have to wait to join the raptor club. Thanks for the advice.

Well, your new Photographer for the Magazine is a Hirobo Pilot. I love mine. I have a Freya EVO being built, and my X-spec went into a Avant FX. Before that it was the best flying 90 I had, the other being a R90. The main diff between the two is how they Hover and Roll. The X-spec, flys like a FAI ship, and that is what makes it so stable in a Hover and gives it the Axle roll rate.
Note: the price diff is very small now, form a Raptor and a Fraya. the Old concepts of pricing for parts is wrong.
hope that helps

I love My Hirobo sceadu .30...I think I have said it enough in this forum..:-)
I believe that they are higher quality and the company is one of the oldest in the industry.
Heliproz.com is a good supplier of parts. So far they had evrything I needed for my sceadu..
