RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

After having the kit for 3 years, I finally dug it out last month and got it ready to fly. This thread has been very helpful and I appreciate all that everyone else has posted.

I read of the...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Good news! Just got the new and improved stab and rods for my TT Rare Bear and must say that I am VERY happy with the revised pieces. They appear to be quite stout and I will not hesitate to use...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Size, weight, and gear length all but require the use of metal pneumatic retracts over the plastic mechanical ones they recommend. I contacted Robart, found out what they used on their TT Rare Bear,...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Greetings-

Has Ace released an improved stab for this model? Stab failures seem to be pretty common and I'm wondering if Ace has done anything about it yet.

I got an early one (November...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

I fully agree with the statement "for those of us pushing the envelope you need to expect to make mods"; that's why I'm making a new stab. The stock stab might be OK for sport engines (with or...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

JWORTNER,

After reading your stab-failure post I had a close look at mine: the root rib popped out easily (not much glue) so I pulled the sheeting off one side to have a look.

The first 2...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Just started my kit tonight-

Thanks for all the info about the stab. It looks like I've got one of the later ones since the first 2 ribs are ply. The carbon tubes were a tight fit and required...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Robart says they used the 551RS retracts, 661L & 661R struts, and the 188VRX air system in their TT Rare Bear.

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Gee, those Robart 550s look like they leave the wheel sticking out quite a bit. Did you use the 85 degree or the 90 degree retracts? Theoretically (with dihedral) the 85s should work but the 90s...

RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

WOW: 24 pages of postings and still counting.

Which retracts work best in this kit? I'd like to use the Robart 550-series if they'll fit. I want the wheels and Robostruts to fit all the way...
