Default Old/New Thunder Tiger

Ijust dug out a Thunder Tiger Skylark 40T MKII ARF that Ibought in the early 90's. Model # is 488. It's still in the box and wasnever assembled. Everything appears to be there and is in perfect condition. However the assembly / instruction manual is gone. I've looked everywhere, here and on the net, but cant find anything. Would really like to put this bird together. Have tried Ace, Hobbico, Great Planes and keep getting redirected and going in circles. Surely someone can lead me in the right direction or help out. .. And .. The model obviously was only a nitro back then ( engine mount pre-installed on fuselage ). Considering building as electric. .... Can anyone help ?? Thanks

If I remember right Goldberg had a Skylark back in the 70 / 80's if you could find one of their manuals that might help. Also if you have the plans you should be able to build it from them, they were pretty standard and straight forward. Good Luck !! ENJOY !!! RED

there were no "plans". It's an ARF. I'm fairly sure I have all the parts, in great condition, but it was never put together. lookin for the assembly manual.

Go to a local club and find someone that "builds " and see if they will help you put it together and set it up. If it's an ARF it shouldn't be to hard to figure out for a builder. ENJOY !!! RED

This plane must have really been rare. Figured I'd find more info than I have.
