This model was designed and engineered by the World-renowned Mr.Shigetada Taya. It combines elements of his previously successful designs with today's advanced technologies. This is truly a versatile model helicopter for everyone.
The Thunder Tiger team of engineers and test pilots have collected feedback from around the world and have made the Raptor 30 an even better helicopter. New molds and tooling for parts and many other areas have subtle changes to increase strength and durability. All production parts use the most modern technology available to meet the standards as set forth by ISO-9001. In the last few years we have spend time and resource to develop a new Thunder Tiger PRO-39H(R) engine for the Raptor 30 v2 and other 30 size helicopters. Available in ARF or kit form, the new Raptor 30 v2 and the PRO-39H(R) engine will provide you with many hours of enjoyment.
Features

Heavy duty collective pitch arm
Enlarged engine starting shaft from 5mm to 6mm

Tank reduces aircraft CG shift and carburetor sensitivity
Rugged aluminum tail boom supports with plastic ends eliminate fatigue and cracking
Larger volume 30-size muffler for increased power and low noise
Re-designed and strengthened sideframes increase crash survivability, and reduce engine vibrations
New frames use Raptor 60 style heavy duty double ball bearing for engine starting shaft. Frames also include built-in molded clips for gyro wire
