Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / October 2008

I was trolling the interweb a while back and came across a Raptor
conversation from Nitro to Electric but I've not been able to find it again
or any details of the conversation;
Is there such a kit or does anyone think this might have been an homebrew

I have a Raptor 50 V2 with an OS 50 SH (non-hyper).
For a while, I have been feeling that it is a little low on power, but
haven't worried too much about it.
This weekend, I was flying as normal, the engine produces plenty of

is there anybody out there with experience (best would be comparisons) of
- Helicommand
- V-Stabi
- Gyrobot

I have aquired an os 32sxh which I have put into a raptor30.
I have run the model (very smooth) and have managed to hover but am having
problems as I increase throttle. Basically I am losing power.  I can throttle
right up which works fine, but if I return to half throttle and then ...

I had a "small drop" from around 4 feet and now the heli is glitchy - I will
be hovering and all of a sudden it will fly off in one direction suddenly. I
have tried the normal setup and balancing checks, is it possible the 3 in 1
is damaged? Any help would be appreciated.

I have just converted a Honey Bee to 2.4g using the original 4 in 1
(EK2-0702)
And removed the receiver part and replaced it with a Spektrum AR6100e
Can I use a 11.1v lipo battery without frying the electronics or motors or
