I have a Rapter 30 part V1 and part V2. It flies OK but is low on power. The good side of this is that it is pretty easy to fly, will loop, roll, stall turn, fly inverted, etc. but it doesn't get in a hurry doing it. I enjoy mine and fly it as much as my Trex 600 CF electric. I have a Trex 450 also, but since I got the 600 it collects dust. I would consider a Raptor 50 to start. The initial cost will be a little higher, but parts cost will be about the same as an R30. Many of the parts are the same. The performance will be much improved for future growth of your skill. If you get an R30 with a TT engine, throw away the stock muffler and get an aftermarket from Heliproz. It will run 500% better.
