Hi,

Do you mean the Raptor V2? If you do, the Raptor is a popular heli. I would think that it would be available almost anywhere. Can anyone in the UK confirm this?

Hi James,

Yip, it looks just like a t-Rex.

Take a look at www.modelhelicopters.co.uk

you might find something in there thats suitable (and available in the UK with backup)

I would suggest the Twister 3D which looks Exactly like the heli you are seeing.

Take care... Azzy

on that link near the bottom of the page theres a T-rex for £130
KX015017TA : T-REX 450XL HDE EP-Helicopter Kit (37Bearings)

would that be good as my first helicopter, need some tips

Hi there,

Well maybe but you would still need to add a pile of stuff to that to get it flying.

this might suit you better KX015005AD2 : T-Rex 450X + Electrics Pack
at £234.00. Then all you need to add is a Transmitter and some crystals at about £150 and your about good to go (once its built and set up).

Also , the T-rex is a frisky beast and could be diffiuclt to learn to fly on (not impossible, Ive seen it done). I started with the B47 twister ..
6600035 : Twister Bell 47 Electric Helicopter Package V2 at £120 which is complete and ready to fly and MUCH more docile than the Trex.

Midland helis does a flyin in Coventry every month, come along and talk to people if you like, youll also get to see most of the electric birds there. (I'll usually be there). Check the website for details.

Take care and feel free to ask more questions.

Azzy.

cheers Aztec1701 im takin in some good info here, the only trouble is i don't really have much to spend at the moment as its all going towards driving lessons, i dont really want to spend any more than £120 ish.
how come i would need to buy all that extra stuff to get it to fly though?
