RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear
thank you bigedmustafa
i would like to offer this board an apology and retract my statement in regards to saying that the navy blue f8f was a spin off the rare-bear (with mods in check for the stabilizer and retract blocks)
it appears that the wing is indeed the same dimension as the rare bear with flaps installed - so there is a 3'rd change in the design.
i would like to see the internal guts of a rare bear and f8fnavy blue side by side to compare internal airframe mods that they may have changed.
still, it is too bad that they did not change the retract servo and the requirement to hook up and take off the links every thiem you took the wing on and off.
if they ever release an MKii version, it would greatly benefit them to just do away with the wing tube design altogether (it's only 63" for cri-sakes) and mount a belly pan to the wing bottom.
the rear stabilizer should also be a non-wing tube design imo.
these design changes alone, would shave off significant weight.
