The FIRST 2 production RAPTORS off the Micro Maintenance production line needed to be air tested so what better way than to conduct a dual flight test.
These machines are bristling with features that do not exist on any other production Sub70kg machine. Carbon seat, lumber support, PilotAware, Compass mounts, carbon wing fold kit, carbon de-rig tool, hydraulic brakes on the rear. All you have to do is just choose the colour.
If you have any further enquires about the RAPTOR please contact Micro Aviation at the address below:

Absolutely love it! Sub 70 dogfighting – sport of the future 😂
Is the raptor on a different hang point to the standard Adam then?
I think if I was to return to flying I'd go the sub 70 route, looks a lot of fun and take off's so much less stressful and predictable
Wow wow wow!! Two happy boyz. Congratulations on the completion of the first two production Raptors, what an achievement. I'd keep em in Awsome Awsome plus mode 😂😁🤙
Happy flying
Fantastic 😍
They look great. When will they be listed on the website.
Cheers
Well done both of you. Great to see the Raptors flying and glad you enjoyed yourselves!
Problem seems to be that you've nicked all the half decent weather. Don't know when I'm going to get flying!
Thanks to Ben Ashman (Flylight) and Mark Hilton (Micro Maintenance) for the aircraft and concept. Thank you for the video, Giles
Awesome buddy love to learn to fly flex wing one day it will happen
Can you speak to differences between the Moster 185 and the factory R from your perspective after flying with both please?
Just awesome stuff! The fact that a man with Mark's experience has a grin that big (and a bit emotional!) just shows how awesome this new breed of aircraft really is. Great stuff, Giles – huge congrats to all involved. 🙂👏👏🙂
Very nice team fligh. Enjoy watching you fly.
That looks like buckets and buckets of fun!
Lovely aircraft, too much fun
I'd like to work there 😊
