  • Page 22 For F3C or 3D flying, we strongly recommend using Carbon or Fiberglass rotor blades for safety and higher performance. Important-While Thunder Tiger takes great care to manufacture the most balanced blades available, no two rotor blades are exactly the same. It is highly recommended that you purchase a blade balancer from your hobby dealer.
  • Page 23 Engine Throttle Control Linkage Mount the steel linkage ball to the outer hole on the plastic throttle arm. At full throttle stick, the carburetor hole should open completely. At low throttle and with the throttle trim all the way down, the carburetor hole should close completely.

  • Page 31 1700 to 1800 for good 3-D flying. We recommend using only carbon graphite main rotor blades for aggressive 3-D flying. Please try the Thunder tiger 600 mm carbon graphite rotor blades, they are designed for extreme 3-D flying with the Raptor 50. Wood main rotor blades are fine for learning how to fly or for practicing simple maneuvers.
  • Page 32 Radio and Control Linkage Setup For Raptor 50 4.Tail Rotor Control and Gyro Setup The radio setup for using a heading hold gyro and a non-heading hold gyro will be different. But the mechanical setup will be the same. Heading Hold Gyro Setup: Set the tail rotor mixing or revolution mixing values to zero for every throttle mode in the transmitter.

  • Page 33: Blade Modification

    Blade Modification Idea and original art submitted by Randy Wishon, Progressive Technologies, inc. 1. Mark around blade grips with a felt-tip marker. 2. Remove blade grips and cut covering lightly .125” inside of mark, being careful not to cut into the blade. 3.
  • Page 34 After Flight Checklist (1) Check every screw and bolt to make sure none has loosened due to vibration. (2) Check every rotating and movable part to ensure they still move smoothly and normally. (3) Clean off the exhaust residue from the muffler, engine, and helicopter. (4) Check all movable parts, such as gears, ball links, belt, etc.
