| They are 2 different class machines. Both 90 size , but the Vibe would be considered an advance 90 ,and the Raptor falls under more beginner (not a first flyer by no means) to intermediate 90 size machine.

I'm curious, exactly what can the Vibe do that the Raptor cannot other than strip crown gears if trying to use the same gyro settings? We all know that the raptor can pull more collective pitch from the head (15/15 is possible, vibe about 12/12 if you are good)The vibe is definately a little lighter and weaker with a 10mm mast and 3 mm head retention bolt. Bigger engines are a coming and designs already at their structural limits will blow apart even easier.
Seems the 700 and the Aurora have copied the Raptor tail drive to keep matters from spreading apart. As an intermediate-beginners machine poor old Raptor does extremely well at competitions in competent hands. The pilot along with his technical skills make for a top performing machine, or parts start to let go in flight. Every machine flys better in some regards than another, how the pilot maximizes on this produces a top contender. Sometimes I just cannot believe what utter crap I read on this forum.
