Default raptor feeling heavy anyone?

do any of u raptor owners feel like ur raptor is heavy in the air, or even on the ground. its under 400 stock, which isnt that much, but ppl are telling me it feels like a lot more while jumping and its very very hard to correct in the air. have any of u noticed this, or is it easy and light feeling?

compared to say the yfz 450 it fells a little heavier but after you get used to it you really won't notice it at all. With practice you will learn how it reacts in the air. I personally don't have any problem correcting it in the air. I've jumped up to at least 110 ft on it and I ve had no problem adjusting in the air wheather I need to big the front end up or make it go down, or even pitching it sidewaysfor an off-camber jump. All I can say is once you get comfortable with the quad I don't believe you'll have any problems.
