I don't doubt their collection of goodies. This picture however shows an RMAX(left) and the bird on table(right) is a R50, the RMAX's little brother. I could be mistaken?

Take a look at my gallery, and there are a couple of pics of the Rmax. The one with the guy UNDER it, just show how big it is. This is Georgia Tech's Rmax that they compete against my team with. Carnagie Mellon no longer competes in this same competition, probally because it's too easy for them. The last I heard Mellon was doing aerobatics like piroing hover maneuvers.

My team just has two small - Bergen Industrial Twin's.

I just LOVE playing with expensive toys like this~!

YAMAHA RMAX & R50

Not a RAPTOR 50,it is a Yamaha R50. NOTE the different exhaust and shell on the two helicopters. I see a RMAX, R50, and a jetcopter.
I am off!
