The new Klone 50: a combination of upgrades and a popular airframe in one kit!
What seems to be an interesting mix of a Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 airframe/drive train/head and a scaled up Align 450SEV2 cabin with some new CCPM geometry, the model appears to be quite capable!
Available in several versions allowing you to choose what color and composition of servo frames (carbon fiber or graphite, colors: black or silver), the color of anodizing of the hard parts (blue, red, silver) and blade composition (wood or glass fiber reinforced with carbon fiber strips), and included in each kit you can choose to use either 120* or 140* CCPM control! Certainly plenty of options to customize and personalize the model!
The company also makes CCPM conversion kits for the Raptor 30/50 in all of the various material and color combinations!
