Concept 30 or Raptor 30..???

[Nigel Matthews]

I want to get back into Heli`s again after quite some time away,
I built a Concept 30 sx with O.S 32 FH engine years ago but never got around
to flying it. A few years later i bought a Concept 30 SRT kit, again built
it never flown.

So now after some 10 years away from this hobby , i want in !! However do i
risk breaking these models and finding spares thin on the ground or do i go
out (again sounds familier..!!) and buy a new Raptor that i can get spares
for?

I only know of Midland Helicopters (UK) that stock Concept spares but they
do warn me that some parts are getting rare. Can anyone give me help in
making my dreams of flying come true...!

I was flying a Concept 30 up until the end of last year and never had any
problems with parts. Many are interchangeable with the Concept 30 VR.

Another good place for spares is:

Instead of buying yet another model, why not invest in a simulator this time
to get you started..? It's slightly easier to 'get around to flying it'
that way... ;-)

The way I read it, you already have the Concepts in your possession, and as
such won't cost you a thing if you fly them, break them and chuck 'em away (ok,
so there is some residual value, but not much!)
You won't be disappointed with the performance of your Concepts in training
mode, and it would seem a waste to spend even more money on yet another
helicopter when you don't even know if you can (still) fly one.

So, if it was me, I would spend the money on a new battery pack etc and get the
Concepts in the air. If they crash, then review what you are going to do after
that. Hopefully they won't crash!

Whereabouts are you? If you are near to Peterborough England send me an email.
