Are you going for a full scale machine, or a sport scale?

For sport, the Century/Funkey fuselages fit the R50/R30 well and I'd assume would work out successfully in the 60 size as well. The only concern might be the reversal of the pitch arm motion. At the full up position the arm can hit the top of the fuselage if it isn't trimmed to the innner ball location. On the 50/30 this isn't an issue as that's full negative and not much use on a scale bird. However, with the 60 it might limit the amount of positive pitch available. Century lists the R60 as fitting 'with some modifications' into most of their fuselages so I'd imagine it would work out okay.

The century 500E fits the Raptor 60 fine, I have one, the collective arm doesn't hit the canopy when the swashplate is down and the front of the collective arm is highest.

The fat tailboom is a concern it's rather tight fitting in the scale boom but is do-able. Can't speak about the others, I doubt the jet ranger will fit, not enough room for the collective arm, maybe the long ranger "might" work but I would want to take measurements before I buy a kit.

The 500 is the only century 60 kit that green lights the Raptor 60 mechs.
meaning little if any mods are needed.
