i love this plane, it does have its flaws, stickers were hard to put on, prop vibrates, but for $70 i think it is great with the stock motor it can carry a 5000mah 3s with ease, amazing flight times with 5000mah i got over an hour of flight. there is so much room i have carried fpv gear 2 gopros (one in case) and a 5100mah 3s and it flew take off was a struggle but to my surprise it still climbed decently i love this plane

Great airplane, put together in 4 hours.
Replaced the stock servos for 4 new Corona DS-919MG and used two stock servos for the flaps.
Replaced the stock ESC it just looks cheap and I do not trust it . Note:Please use a filler ring between the spinner plate and the stock propeller otherwise the propeller is pushing the back-plate out out of shape cousin big vibrations in the motor mount and airframe when the motor spins the propeller. Plane is gentle on the sticks can go fly fast but also very slow even without flaps. With a 3cells Zippy 4000mA it will stay up easily for 20 minutes. Not yet any FPV gear attached. Great plane for the right price. 5 Stars

Mon fpvraptor a vol dans la configuration dcrite. Malgr le poids la puissance est trs suffisante avec un taux de monte d'environ 5m/s. Il faut le lancer vigoureusement avec une bonne pente de monte car il manque de cabreur moteur pour le dpart. L'approche et l'atterrissage sont trs sains malgr un vent tourbillonnant lors de l'essai. En respectant le centrage il est trs sain et homogne. J'ai ralis 2 vols: le premier avec la bulle et le suivant avec la camra hobbyking et je n'ai pas remarqu de diffrence dans le vol. J'ai fait des montes de 15 20 s avec le moteur fond et je n'ai pas constat d'anomalie. Le esc reste presque froid et le moteur peine tide. Aucun souci du ct des servos qui sont trs prcis et rapides. Rapport qualit prix difficile galer!

Aprs plusieurs essais au banc les quipements d'origine fonctionnent parfaitement. Cependant au vu de tous les commentaires ngatifs propos de l'esc, j'ai rajout un accu 2s avec un bec perso pour alimenter la rception par scurit. De plus le poids de cet accu s'est avr ncessaire pour assurer un centrage correct, et le poids final est de 1280g sans aucun quipement vido ou fpv. Les essais en vol sont imminents et je ferai part de mes analyses.

Livraison trs rapide en France partir de la Hollande. Trs bon rapport qualit prix. Seule la fixation d'aile est peu pratique car le dmontage s'impose pour le transport. Les dcalcomanies sont peu faciles poser et ont tendance se dcoller sur les arrondis de bord d'attaque. Pour l'instant il est quip de son esc d'origine ainsi que des servos qui semblent bien fonctionner. Tout mont avec un lipo 3s 2200 il affiche 1200 g (loin des 950g annoncs!) et il faut ajouter 70g pour un centrage correct, ce qui correspond une camra.
Pour ce qui est de la propulsion il est quip d'origine d'une hlice 8x4 qui tourne 10800 rpm sous 13.8 ah au sol. Ce qui m'tonne un peu ce sont tous les commentaires ngatifs propos de l'esc car avec 30 A il semble largement dimensionn. Cependant je vais prolonger les essais au sol afin de m'assurer de la tenue de tous les lments avant de le propulser dans son lment.

es un bon avio..indicat per fpv. te una bodega molt ampla. el faig volar amb una 3s. de 2650. el centre de gravetat amb la bat, la camara, gps i l'emisor es perfecte.. els kwilinks son una merda i fan por...montatge molt rapid. en 2 hores el tens montat. apart l'electronica clar. el motor tira de sobres. no fa falta cambiar'lo. el variador cap problema.
no s'escalfa. molt maniobrable. un bon avio encara que sembli de mira i no em toquis.

The FPV Raptor is quite a value, even if it didn't come equipped with motor, esc, servos. I added flap servos and covered the wings, fin/rudder and stab/elevator with Econokote using a low heat iron. I have found this is a best practice with foam parts. Using the stock setup with a 2200mah 3s zippy lipo - the ESC got VERY hot and motor is under powered. Once in the air its not so bad, it flies very nicely, very forgiving, easy to control and no bad habits. I replaced the motor and esc with my own proven mix of a BP Cheetah 2217/4 2200kv motor which bolted right over the existing motor mount, a BP 40A ESC, a Castle 10A BEC set to 6v, and an APC 7x5e prop. I got some flack from all the old fart scale dudes for bringing some plasticky foam thing. That is until I belly take off on our grass runway with a GoPro bolted to the camera mount w/ 2 3300 3s Zippy in parallel in the fuse. On my third day out I was the only one at the field as it was VERY windy. I added my FeiYu Tech_FY-31AP Flight Stabilization System to prepare for FPV stuff. With Heavy wind, gusts of 25mph , it held a track in the sky perfectly. What a great platform. With all the space in the PVC fuse, its perfect. Even better is the black canopy that can be snapped over everything when you just want to fart around at the field and see how long you can stay aloft.

Bought this from international warehouse. Of course its now in stock at USA warehouse. Value at 4 because I replaced stock motor and esc. Quality at 4 because the wing mount is weird where nylon bolts would have been better. Regardless, the FPV Raptor is quite a value, even if it didnt come equipped with motor, esc, servos. I added flap servos and covered the wings, fin/rudder and stab/elevator with lightweight Econokote using a low heat iron. This gave the wings more rigidity and saves them from the occasional oops that foam parts often encounter. I have found this is a best practice with foam parts. Using the stock setup had a maiden with a 2200mah 3s zippy lipo. Two things happened, the ESC got VERY hot and the craft as a whole is under powered. Once in the air its not so bad, it flies very nicely, very forgiving, easy to control and no bad habits to speak of, just kind of scary with a hand launch and barely clearing the barbed wire fence at the end of the runway. I removed the motor and esc and added my own proven mix of a BP Cheetah 2217/4 2200kv motor (which require no modifications and bolted right over the existing motor bolt pattern), a BP 40A ESC, a Castle 10A BEC set to 6v to power my receiver and six servos, and am flying with an APC 7x5e prop. Note on the prop, make sure the text on the prop faces the front of the airplane and you are all set.

Ottimo aereo da attrezzare fpv! Ottimo anche per i principianti che vogliono imparare.La fuso molto resistente e perdona crash in fase d'atterraggio (smusate),ma altrettanto difficoltoso ripararlo se si rompe.

Doti di volo buone,paragonabili alle pari categorie. Da sostituire esc e servi.I flaps non servono a una mazza.
