Default What Is It

Think its an ARF.

Bought this assembled fun fly plane today - the seller thought it was a thunder tiger - does anyone have an idea/instructions?

Wingspan is 48" length is approx 41" w/o engine.

Want to make sure I set up the radio gear correctly but If I can get info on CG and throws I will have the bare minimum of info to get it flyable.

Thanks in advance

Eric

Yes, it's a Thunder Tiger "Fun Tiger". They have been out of production for many years, but TT may still have the instructions on file.

They were originally covered with blue and yellow shelf paper. That looks like a really nice re-covering job.

Thanks for the reply.

I found a review with a Saito 65 that says to set the CG at 5". I'll be putting in a Saito 65 Black Knight and anticipate great performance if I set it at the same 5" CG.

Have not found any info on where to set the initial throws or any mixing/flaperons.

Need low rates, high rates, 3d rates, etc.

Any set up recomendations?
