- As part of my journey to get back to flying helicopters, Ewan is also wanting to learn to fly them. He has got his hands on this now 'Retro' or vintage Raptor 30 v2 that we will be checking over and making airworthy again, and this will give him a very stable heli to learn on.
In this video, Ewan gets his very first Heli flight.

Well done young man great flying keep it up
Thanks, will do!
well done Ewan, this is how it should be done, now this old codger will have to follow you because I'm still learning.
well done
Thank you
My first helicopter was a cricket 30
Back in 1984 then the Kysho concept 30 in 1994 then Raptor 30 in 2000 then excel 60 in 2004 then Raptor 60 2008 . Had a lot of fun with everyone. Great times and memories.
Excellent progress now you just have to get used to making constant adjustments with both sticks and using the tail rotor more to initiate turns with the collective roll Control. Maybe don't fly so close to yourself as things happen very very quickly with a helicopter. Very well done congrats😊
Really well done! this is exactly how i started with a Raptor 30 on training legs back in 2009! It wont be long before he's flying circuits, loops, stall turns and rolls....keep it up!
Cross sticks were off today and he’s very close to full on circuits. Was fairly blowy too
Nice flight youngman 👍
Thanks 👍
Good job Ewan. Helis are addictive.
Yes they can! He already had an R50 Titan and a R90 to play with when the time is right!
Nice one ewan! Well done uoumg man!
Thank you kindly
Excellent flying for a newbie. Been flying since the 80's and my first bird was a Raptor 30. Brings back memories. I now fly ELO Scale 700-800 size birds. Would love to find a Raptor 30, just hard to find and not too many parts available.
Ewan’s got this r30, an r50 titan, and a r90!
nice first flight. i would just fly with a bit lower rpm /headspeed the first few flights. will let u feel bit more at ease and not intimidated by the heli. but just keep practicing! goodluck!
We have lowered it a little bit but he’s certainly it not intimidated by it. We went out the day after, the cross sticks were off after the first flight and he’s now doing lazy 8’s and starting nose in
