The Raptor line of RC helicopters is easily one of the most popular lines you will come across and the Raptor 30 V2 is everything that you would expect. The Raptor 30 V2 looks great, as you can see from the pictures, and is ideal for beginners who are just learning to fly or advanced pilots to perform 3D stunts!.

The Raptor .30 V2 is built for robustness with well manufactured parts that last longer, and generally tougher components. These components are logically packaged for assembly out of the box, making your job much less confusing. The ARTF (Almost ready-to-fly) kit can be assembled in a matter of hours.

As I mentioned earlier, the Raptor 30 V2 is great for 3D flying, and I just found a video demonstrating the handling and performance of this great machine.

The new edition of the Raptor G2 has been released called the Raptor G2 SE (Special Edition). It comes ready to fly out of the box, all you need is 8 "AA" batteries for the transmitter, everything else like the battery pack, motor, electronic and a 6 channel 72Mhz FM radio system is included. Also, each Raptor is test-flown at the factory to ensure that everything is setup and working for you.

Expect only the best as you experience tight, precise control and quick response as the Raptor G2 will dazzle you with agility and speed. Using the basics of micro electric design to keep components light and durable while distributing heat away from electronic, the Raptor G2 is not only precise, but also efficient. When you combine precision and efficiency and add beauty, you will arrive at the Raptor G2: The Ultimate Super-Micro Electric Helicopter.
