A few years ago I bought a Thunder Tiger 60 trainer, ARTF. It came with everything except the fuel. I was looking to start in the hobby with this plane, and with the help of a friend experienced in the hobby. Well, things happen. The friend passed away before we ever got out to start flying. The plane never got fully put together. Now, it seems the instruction manual is missing and possibly some small parts to mount the landing gear and wings. Also, there is a puncture in one of the wings about the size of a 50 cent piece.
My questions are:1- does anyone have a source for the instruction manual? I'm sure it will address the issues of the final assembly.
2- can the hole in the wing be repaired with a piece of clear tape, or am I looking at a wing rebuild? Is this a service usually available locally? THANK YOU!

I can't find the manual on line, but anyone with a few years experience can help you assemble it. They can also identify missing parts (Which are available at a local hobby shop) and teach you how to fly.
And yes, you can just tape over the hole as long as there's no damage to the structure underneath

Likewise I could not find the manual but here is a link to the company:

Since the plane seams to be in production still you may be able to contact them directly for a replacement manual. I would be very suprised if they did not try to help you out. They do have other manual available for download but yours is not listed.

See if this is the correct manual for your plane

oops - I see now this is the 40 and you have the 60. Hopefully they are similar though. I found your plane but not your manual.
