Aero-M Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I bought a Thunder Tiger V2 Raptor kit that I need to build sometime. Still in its box with an OS engine and muffler. All I need is some servos to complete kit. Was thinking of selling it as Im not sure ill build it now untill next year but everytime I see a heli video, it makes me want to go start building. Carl get it built, really is a great hobby. good choice too, I have a raptor v2 with os engine, make sure you get yourself a decent gyro, like the futaba gy401 and digital tail servo, pref a 9254. my instructor set mine up and it takes off flat and pretty much hovers itself.

Ill keep you in mind when i get around to building it as I have never built or flown one before so some advice could save me a lot of money.

SupraStar 3000 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 As far as I know the V2 Raptor is one of the best heli's around. Good buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 As far as I know the V2 Raptor is one of the best heli's around. Good buy I've had 2, great Heli. Pretty much flies itself until you get tail servo failure at 500 feet and 60mph. Dam thing hit the ground with an almighty crack! 2 hours later it was back in the air. Thunder tiger do great crash kits for them, I always had 2 just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
