All the features that made "Raptor" a household word in the R/C helicopter world are incorporated in the 60 size version. Any intermediate to advanced pilot can really appreciate the pleasure of flying in 3-dimensional space. Its docile handling is ideally suited for all pilots, while the stable hover and agility also make it the top choice for contest fliers and extreme 3-D pilots.
Thunder Tiger has incorporated all the state-of-the-art technology into designing and making this helicopter. The Raptor 60 ARF Helicopter includes a Unique Sideframe System, Bell-Hiller Mixing Control Unit and a Shaft Drive Tail Rotor which has the same aluminum torque tube system as the Thunder Tiger/Taya Imperio helicopter. To make this machine near perfect, Thunder Tiger used modern Computer Aided Design ‘CAD’ to design and manufacture the Raptor 60. Available in ARF or kit form, the new Raptor 60 v2 and the PRO-70H(R) engine will provide you with many hours of enjoyment available.
The Thunder Tiger Raptor 60 V2 ARF Helicopter Kit requires the following for flight: Transmitter (6 or more channels), High Speed/Torque Servo x5, Receiver, Battery, Switch Harness, Gyro, Heli Engine (60-70size), Glow Plug, Glow Fuel (15% - 30%), 1.5V Glow Starter, 12V Fuel Pump, 12V Battery, 12V Electric Starter, Extended 6mm Hex (starting tool), Remote Glow Plug Extension Glow Plug Wrench, and building supplies.
