Pictured above is aThunder Tiger Raptor 30, powered by an OS .32 SX-H. For the radio, I selected the Futaba Super 8 PCM, with 9202 Servos (coreless, dual ball-bearing). The Gyro is a Futaba GY401 Heading Lock with a Futaba 9253 digital servo.

Movie Files:

In the movie files, you can see where I almost put the Raptor into the ground on the 900 degree stall-turn. These were filmed last summer, before several of the tail upgrades were added. Now that I've added the new tail blades and digital servo, pirouettes are amazing! (More movies to come)
