My raptors elevator will not reach the connector its 2 short no matter how I try to get this connected it just won’t work… Any tips? “How do I get the elevator connection rod on the elevators mount?” I have plugged in the battery to see if that helped and unscrewed the connector as much as possible but it still won’t reach unless I bend the connection rod way over but it doesn’t look right. Any suggestions?

Also, the stock 30a ESC that comes with the plane went dead on the bench before first flight. Replaced with Turnigy plush 60a and replaced all servos with hi-tec karbonites and all is good!

Just got finished with my build, and wanted to say thanks! The manual that comes with this plane is minimal, with no parts list and not a single mention of what type of screw goes where. Thanks for the walkthrough. The Raptor rocks!

Ali, do you know how to program the esc that comes with the FCC raptor? I put mine in programming mode on accident and messed up a setting. Thanks!

Is there a kit where you can get a 1.6m and a 2.m wing? can you ask the manufacture if they would think of a set with the 2 wings? this is the best FPV airplane I have seen! so far! and as all ways, Thank You for the video’s! you do a great job!! have a great day!

flaps will slow down the plane of 1.6m? I thought that was the purpose of flaps haha…

well farther range on Radios means more expensive mate. its one time investment. buy a cheap radio and you will be worrying about range and or regretting later and looking for new radio again. happened to me before. finally after buying 10C. I am not looking at any other radios now.

how much is the dry weight of this plane?
alishanmao says:

I think AXN Floater or this one or Lanyu Evolution glider, they all make good beginner planes. Thing is what you find in your area

yup, perfect for beginners. glides well, crash resistant foam and pvc fuselage, and can do aerobatics too
great plane for beginners and fpv both

the 1.6 meter wing span version is good for New guys, although the Clouds Fly (also called, AXN Floater Jet) is highly reccomended for New Guys.
