Hi Paul, What settings are you using on the 401 gyro itself, I am using a digital servo and have it set to DS. What are your Delay and Limit pots set to? Thanks Bill W.

Hopefully on the right place, if not point me in the right direction. I am going to convert one of my Raptor 50 to electric. I have an Outlander Thumper V3 890KV motor and an 60 amp esc. Powered by a 22.2V Lipo battery. What would be the best battery to use? Thinking around 4000-5500mah? The other question is the positioning of the ESC and lipo within the frame. Although this is a known conversion, I can’t find any photo’s of the whereabouts of the positioning of the various components used. Even the 3 motor power wires can be at 4 different positions, using the QuickUK conversion kit. Any info greatfully received Thanks Bill W

Just returning to r/c heli’s and I was wondering if there were any ball park settings I could use. I am still only a hovering novice and always used AVCS MODE. I USED TO USE GY 401 exclusively but it is 20 years ago and the memory has forgotten and all my psperwork has been lost. Thanks Bill W.

THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE AND HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM SALE.

New price is ******* £350 ********

Reference the QuickUK conversion kit, I have the part the contains the gear that connects to the motor and the rectangular plate. I am missing the round motor plate. Does anyone have the dimensions of the circular plate please. Thanks. Bill W

I have a Raptor 50 and I am looking for any parts of the Quick UK Conversion kit or any conversion kit to suit Raptor 50. Many Thanks. Bill W. email [email protected]

Hi Paul, It isn’t that bad. I keep all my correspondence so I can check back. 10 out of 10 for trying. Bill W. 😂😂😂😂

A year ago I bought a couple of Raptor 50’s withe the intention of getting back into heli's after a gap of 20 yrs doing classic cars and bikes. I have finished one of them but have come across a problem. Due to my age, 82, my short term memory is rubbish and I am having trouble setting it up due to this. I have spent the last month trying to figure it out but no go, so I have decided to sell it on. It is all put together OK but needs setting up mechanically and electrically. With all the Quick UK parts, new bearings and original purchase I am into this heli for about £750. I would like to be able to sell it complete for around £500 or offers. Send your email for more photos. Thanks Bill W

The Tx and Rx are approx 25 years old and are run on 35Mhz. When Tx was bought, I hadn’t heard of lithium batteries for heli’s or any RC equipment. There is no mention in the manual of any batteries except NiCad or NiMh. No real reason for change except to update. I might change over to 2.4Ghz. Bill W

At present my Raptor 50’s electric are powered by NiMh batteries. 4.8V Rx and 9.6V Tx. Could these be changed for lithium batteries? If so, what would be the best to use for Rx and Tx? Thanks. Bill W

I am still looking for the Raptor 50 Carbon frame that was made about 25 yrs ago. Anyone any ideas if any still exist. Good price paid for one.

I am looking for a complete Raptor 50 clutch. One I bought recently came fitted with a Raptor 30 clutch. thanks Bill W.

Thanks for all the replies. I should have realised they were rolled. I knew there was a method of creating a thread without losing metal. With my advancing years my memory isn’t what it was. I think it will be easier to get some new set of pv0044 link rods. The problem I have is finding somewhere that sells them, they all seem to be out of stock. Thanks Bill W.

Hi, As all the linkage rods on my Raptor 50 are 2mm dia, I thought I would change them to Stainless. What I have found is that although the rods are 2mm, the max diameter of the thread is 2.2mm. How are these rods threaded to get them a larger diameter than the rod itself? All I can think of is that they are put in a threaded clamp of some sort and the thread is pressed in. That is the only way I can see a thread being created without losing metal in the process and making the thread diameter larger than the rod itself. Can anyone tell me how the thread is done on the link rods?
