Default RE: thunder tiger TIGER TRAINER is LOUSY

There was no opening pre cut for the elevator pushrod to exit.
THe supplied dowel rods for the rudder and elevator were not long enough to make it to the control horns
THe opening for the servos in the servotray was way to small
THe formers would break at the slightest touch.
THere were no cut outs in the formers for the nose wheel control rod to fti so it would clear the tank.
THe covering is sticky back.
Yep. Sounds like a TT Trainer to me.[8D] I've had mine for 5 years. I think I'll finally retire it. I keep kicking the rudder off (while stepping over it for motor run up).[:@] Everything you describe above was the same as on mine with the exception of the servo openings and the formers breaking. They repair quite easily though; if you have the all balsa ones they used to make, not sure about the newer ones.[&:] On a lighter note, if you want it to perform alot better take some of the dihedral out of it and remove the wing tip covers and put a balsa cap on it. Flies soooo much better.
