For Sale: Raptor V2 Sport Kit

I have a new, fully assembled Raptor V2 Radio Controlled helicopter with a
Leo .37 ABC engine. The helicopter has never been flown, and the engine has
not been started. There are no radio, servos or gyro, but the helicopter is
otherwise complete and ready to fly.

Price is $400.00.  I can ship this helicopter, but I would probably have to
remove the tail boom to pack it properly. I figure abut $25.00 shipping and
handling in the continetntal US. My preference would be a pick up in the
Sacramento, CA area.

my email address is mbettis5@sbcglobal.net.

Thanks for any help/comments on this.

Obviously you haven't "quite" got the hang of this helicoptering thing. What
you've got there is a kit and a motor and nothing else. I'd even wager the
blades aren't balanced. No sign of any tracking tape either, OR a line from
the tank to the muffler. Nowhere NEAR trf.

And you're pissed out of your tiny mind thinking you'll get that price. Mind
you, they do say the last fool hasn't been born yet, so you may sucker some
poor f.cker.

hassle..............

Beav,

I want to personally thank you for your helpful and witty response to my
newbie post.

It's folks like you that help keep hobbies like this alive by
encouraging commerce, offering helpful suggestions, positive
encouragement and friendly constructive criticism.

It really warms my heart to know that this list has people such as
yourself who know everything there is to know about RC helicopters and
are willing to share your insight with those just entering the hobby.

Thanks again for the help - I hope you will continue to respond in like
fashion to others in similar situations.

Best Regards,
Mark

You forgot to mention that I point out a crap deal when I see it. Naughty.

Or, as appears to be the case, bailing out of the hobby. I see that as a sad
loss.

Don't forget to mention how humble you are too.  :)

Hey, in my case, someone's bailing left me with a really nice Raptor
50 V2..  Not quite RTF, but close (Radio needed to be installed
properly)  Still, I hate to see people leave the hobby...  Especially
those who don't have grey hair.  :)

Do you know how hard it is to be humble, when you're perfect in every way,
Kev? :-))

I've just picked up a Raptor 50 complete with a 3810 radio and SPCM
receiver, all digi servo's CSM 420 gyro, a spare gyro, a bunch of tools and
a complete Thunder Tiger starter box with (oddly enough) a starter, battery,
charger, glo-stick & charger, fuel bottle & pump, plus a spare set of carbon
Razors blades for less than Mr Fixit was asking for his "deal". I'm not
bailing yet either :-))

Good for my brother. He's been wanting a heli for a while and this one fits
the bill. Hopefully, it'll last longer in his hands than it did in the
previous owners.
