• Swashplate, suppress a lot of slope found in the original one.
• Metal fan, The Correct do not seem to have a better cooling effect, wait till QuickUk release a better version.
• Metal clutch bell,
• ...
• Other upgrades are not recommended since in case of crash the energy will be release elsewhere, bend metal, stripped gears, break more.

Type	Pictures	Note	Price and Where
Swashplate		Replace the plastic one, wich have a lot of slope (even through if it do not seems to disturb the raptor) Allow to have even more pitch. A MUST	www.quickuk.com 72€
Metal Main rotor head hub		Less slope with time compare to the plastic one, but it is a really expensive part	www.helihut.com 60$
Metal blade grip		Should supress the woof and poof, the collar have less space to move	www.cyberheli.com 42$
Wash out			Thunder Tiger 40£
Tail pitch control lever			www.helihut.com 10$
Pich control arm			30$
Carbon rod and servo mount		for using the JR 5700G + CSM 540	www.quickuk.com 30€
Tail Output Shaft + Pulley		bought by the previous owner of the raptor	www.quickuk.com 10€
Raptor 50 tank		a MUST for extending flight time, not exepensive upgrade.	www.cyberheli.com 7$
Tail Drive Belt Guide		bought by the previous owner of the raptor	www.quickuk.com 10€
Tailboom Brace Set		bought by the previous owner of the raptor	www.quickuk.com 10€
OS46 or OS50 motor mount		needed to upgrade to raptor 50, bought by the previous owner of the raptor	20€
Tank Header		avoid bubble.	www.quickuk.com 20€
K&S Funtech OS50		One of the best exhaust for the os50	80€

Some remarqs:

If you compared the price of a raptor metal head and a Futura one, you will see that the price is very close. I was always complaining about the price (it is too expensive) and at the end, i add so much upgrade on my rappy.... I must be crazy !!

The default muffler is great! It is not mandatory to change it, since it performed quite well. I buy the caliber 2 second hand together with these 2 mufflers, so why not mount them?

Hatori 3d pipe 350 A must if you run with high nitro percentage. Require to use the additional parts provided in kit.	Hatori Mufler 337 Not really interesting compare to the default muffler, except that it is lighter. Replace the default muffler with no change.

Official version of nginx for Ubuntu Precise is 1.1.19 but the latest available stable version is 1.2.2 (Changes), In this post I will present you how to update to the latest available version.

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

and add depending on your Ubuntu version either

For Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid:

deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx

For Ubuntu 12.04 Precise:

deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx

Now you can run

apt-get update

When using the public nginx repository for Ubuntu, you’ll get this error

W: GPG error: http://nginx.org lucid Release: The following signatures 
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ABF5BD827BD9BF62

First of all this is only warning and you can ignore it, if you know what are you doing and in case you prefer to add public key, used for signing packages and repository, just run:

gpg -a --export 7BD9BF62 |  sudo apt-key add -

or

wget http://nginx.org/packages/keys/nginx_signing.key
cat nginx_signing.key | sudo apt-key add -

apt-get update should now run fine, however after running an

apt-get install nginx

you may still get this kind of error:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx_1.2.2-1~precise_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/logrotate.d/nginx', which is also in package nginx-common 1.1.19-1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nginx_1.2.2-1~precise_amd64.deb

just remove nginx-common and retry

apt-get remove nginx-common

Crazy Pictures have to be seen

Upgrade carbon frame from Draganfly corp.

nullCosts

Can be bought at www.draganfly.com for 80€ + shipping costs.

Overall view

The original frame is weak in many places and was designed more for indoor flying. A lot of people work on the Roswell Flyer and they all designed their own frame using carbon pipes. I decided to buy the carbon upgrade frame. As usual, all models: Roswell Flyer (sold out), HMX4 (copy of previous), Dragnaflyer are sharing the same design and are fully compatible. They were all created by the clever Mike Dammar from www.spectrolutions.com

Assembling

Content of the upgrade Kit.

The manual given explain everything and is completed. All screws, heat rubber for isolation, and a small hex key is given. Nice job. The overall frame is light and the wires are hidden in each carbon tube. A spare carbon tube is also in the kit.

Aerodynamic canopy, very light, the circuit board is maintian by the four pylons.

Maybe the motor mount has a little too much flexion. Let see if it survive in a small crash. Note that the pinion is now after the motor mount and no more inside the imaginary inner circle. It will also be in contact with the ground in case of crash.

Â

final throughs

The kit is not overprice and the frame seems to be reliable and light. A must for all old roswell flyer!

TIPS

• If you think you can not save the machine (crash) stop immediately the power, it will many times save your blades
