| The majority doesnt say to use Futaba. As a matter of fact most of the flyers i know use JR. I think the reason people like Futaba is that although it is harder to prograam, it has a lot more points on a curve and other similar features hence why they are so hard to program. I dont know anything about Airtronics but I have heard a lot of early flyers get them first then switch to others as they increase. I dont know if that is simply a cost issue vs functions or they just want to try something new after learning on the initial system.
A fury flown like that? I bet someone with Alan's skills and his attention to mechanical detail could. Maybe the Raptor does have better improvements (aftermarket) avail in swashplate etc because a lot more flyers fly it, there are other factors that play here, not just saying Raptors rule everything else stinks. I went with the Sceadu initially because of the reason. Everyone buys this, why because a magazine said so? Or the local flyer? Only someone who is impartial to brand name and has flown both helis the same amount of time can determnine if one is better. So I went with the newer design. Although it may not be tried and true, it has to have at least some improvements to the last design. Again I am biased because I have never flown a Raptor. I think people should give credit where due but not put down the other choppers without knowing its capabilities.
Hey Fury or Vigor guys, hint hint, it seems like people here want you to sponsor Alan to see if you have got what it takes.  Later folks. |
