| r90I'm running an OS91 in my prime R60v2. Here are my changes, the ones with an ** I consider required, the rest optional.
**Bigger fuel tank. TT's tank is overpriced so I velcroed a 24oz Sullivan in the frames.
**TT Metal cooling fan because the plastic one sux.
**Frame reinforcement. Either the CF frameset or TTs overpriced aluminum back frames.
**Metal A arms and flybar ovals. Just in case.
**CF or FG blades 680 to 690 mm.
**pinion gear - either 11 tooth for 8.45:1 or 12 tooth for 7.75. I use the 12 tooth for 1750 headspeed.
**New clutchliner installed for minimum gap.
GV governor
Ricks O ring in the rotorhead upgrade
CF boom supports and fins
Tail servo boom mount and CF pushrod
Metal washout base
Uniflow tank setup
Things I may get later if TT gets off their a$$ and prices drop:
Heavy duty clutch
Metal swashplate
V paddles
Long boom and 700 blades
Why did I go to a 90 and muffler from my 61 and Muscle Pipe? Less noise, easier to tune, don't have to squeeze every erg of power out of the engine, variable headspeeds, engine doesn't sound like it's going to explode any second, no bogging the engine when I do something stupid, lower nitro fuel and the big johnson muffler makes all other helis feel inadequate.
Power feels good - I want more. :-)

Is anybody out there flying a raptor 90?? If so what are your thoughts? I have a sixty and love it to bits and was thinking of a ninety for the summer period.
