This helicopter is a product of Exceed-RC. You will find the
transmitter to look exactly the same as the Walkera transmitter. The
only difference between the Raptor G2 and the Z400 Walkera Dragonfly
#36 is the funky yellow colour scheme of the Raptor G2. The Raptor G2
in my opinion is not a helicopter for someone to start with. I will
rate the Raptor G2 as a intermediate helicopter and if you have
previous flying experience, you will enjoy this little yellow beast.
The Raptor G2 also known as the Walkera Z400 Dragonfly #36, is ready
to fly out of the box within minutes. Everything needed to fly is
included and installed such as a battery pack, brush motor,
electronics and 6 channel transmitter.
All that is needed are 8 "AA" batteries for the transmitter. Each
Raptor G2 is test-flown at the factory to ensure precise performance
and control which makes the Raptor G2 truly ready to fly right out
from the box.
The Raptor G2 offers collective pitch control that makes it 3D
capable. It has a belt driven tail rotor system, so no need to worry
about burning tail motors. I found that the original main rotor
blades to be good, but I have upgraded mine to the carbon fibre
blades. With the 650 mAh Ni-Mh 12V battery and brush motor, you’ll
get about 5 minutes flight time.
I have upgraded to the Walkera brushless motor and Li-Po battery.
With the brushless upgrade you will get 10 minutes flight time.
