My kit was great all parts fit like they should, I did replace the TT links with Rocket City 77e links and used a JR ball link sizing tool to get the proper fit, but I would do that on any kit. The blades in my kit were out of balance too, I don't consider that a problem more like the standard for wood blades shipped with kit's. I balance all of my blades even expensive Carbon blades can some times be out of balance. As far as the control rods go they are 2mm and that's pretty standard, and yes they will do 3D out the box! I was very happy with my Raptor 30 so much so I bought the Raptor 60 to keep it company.


While the directions are a little short on verbiage I thought the pictures were very detailed, it really helps to read through the entire manual before starting construction.

Thunder Tiger does need to add some supplemental instructions with the R50 & R30, they now use a set screw in the end of the tail rotor shaft to hold the pin in the pulley, most people have been able to figure it out, some have not and lost the tail in flight.

P.S. How does a swash plate have play in the wrong place's? it's either sloppy or it isn't.
