Thank you very much for purchasing the Thunder Tiger/Taya "Raptor 60" helicopter. Mr. Taya, the first F3C

Helicopter World Champion, designed this helicopter to be the highest quality model helicopter in the RC

hobby industry. The Raptor 60 is designed for modelers who love building and flying model helicopters.

Only the highest quality materials are used. With the Raptor, the pilot can really appreciate the pleasure of

flying in 3-dimensional space. Its docile handling is ideally suited for beginners. The stable hover and agility

also make it the top choice for contest fliers and extreme 3-D pilots. The Raptor requires the least amount

of assembly of any helicopter kit. The ARF version comes complete with a high performance Thunder Tiger

Pro 70H ring engine and muffler. The helicopter and engine are both manufactured by Thunder Tiger using

the most modern technology and exceed the stringent internationally recognized ISO-9001 manufacturing

standard. We have incorporated all the state-of-the-art technology into designing and making this helicopter.

We believe you will enjoy this model for a long time. We have made no compromise in designing or

manufacturing this model.

Unique Sideframe System

Aluminum side plates are used in conjunction with molded material to construct the main structure. This

design produces a minimum weight with maximum strength. If the sideframes were completely made of

molded material, then to achieve equal strength the plastic would have to be very thick and heavy. Using

molded material at the right place avoids using metal angle brackets or putting compound bends in metal

frames. Slots have been added in the frame design to permit using optional gear ratios to optimize engine

performance to suit any pilot's demand.

Bell-Hiller Mixing Control Unit

Main rotor control geometry has been carefully engineered to minimize cross-coupling in collective and cyclic

commands. Blade pitch arms and the Bell-Hiller mixing arms are designed at an angle such that the pushrod

interlinking them are at 90 degrees when the blades are at 0 degree. The pilots will get the symmetrical

cyclic control feel and flybar authority either at +10 or -10 degrees of collective. We designed this system

with the 3-D pilot in mind. We guarantee you this whole design philosophy provides a strong and accurate

control mechanism.

Shaft Drive Tail Rotor

The Raptor 60 is designed with a constant drive tail rotor system to permit full tail rotor control during

autorotations. Backward autos, pirouette autos and 180 autos are all within your reach now. It has the same

aluminum torque tube system as the Thunder Tiger/Taya Imperio helicopter. This allows obtaining the

maximum performance from any modern high gain gyros.

3D CAD Design

We used modern 3D Computer Aided Design to design and manufacture the Raptor 60. Our high-tech CAD

program allows simulation of all the moving part to ensure non-interference. The analysis automatically

analyze the weight, the mass distribution, and inertia to help us pursue a design that will provide the high

level of maneuverability needed for all-out 3-D aerobatics.

Instruction

Repair and replacement Parts

Purchase replacement parts from the hobby shop where you have purchased the Raptor 60. Please contact the Thunder

Tiger distributor in your country, and the distributor can tell you where to obtain the parts. For example, in the U.S, all

Thunder Tiger products are distributed by Ace Hobby Distributors. On the web site www.acehobby.com, there is a list

of all the hobby shops in the USA that can special order any Thunder Tiger parts from Ace for you. Technical questions

on the Raptor will be answered quickly sending an email to service@acehobby.com or call Technical Support at 949-

833-7498. In Europe, Asia and Australia, please contact the distributor in your country.

Warnings

To ensure safety, please read the instruction manual thoroughly before assembly. Radio control helicopters are

sophisticated equipment, and not toys. Radio control model helicopters are capable of causing serious bodily injury if

not properly assembled or operated. The manufacturer and distributors assume no liability for damages that could

occur from the assembly or use of this product. This product is designed for hobby use only. Operating model Helicopters

requires diligence and skill. It is best to seek help and guidance from other accomplished model helicopter pilots to

ensure quick and successful learning. It is strongly recommended to join the appropriate radio control modeling governing

society in your country. For example, in the United States, it is strongly encouraged to join the Academy of Model

Aeronautics. AMA is a nonprofit organization that provides members in the United States with liability insurance and

monthly modeling magazines. For further information or to find a model

helicopter club that's nearest to you, please contact AMA at:

Academy of Model aeronautics

515 East Memorial Drive

Muncie, IN 47302

USA

(317) 287-1256

We also encourage start subscribing to different radio control helicopter magazines to learn about RC flying events,

new flying techniques, safety procedures, and hints. Rotory Modeler is a bi-monthly and Model Helicopter Techniques

is a quarterly newsletter published in the USA. Model Helicopter World is a month magazine published by Traplet

Publication in England and sold worldwide. Rotor is a monthly German magazine. Helico is a Swiss quarterly magazine.

Attention

We are unable to accept replacement or return of this model after it has been used or assembly has begun.

It is legally prohibited to duplicate or reprint this manual in any format without a written permission from the manufacturer.

The manufacturer has the right to make changes to this model or instruction without notice.

We have done our best to ensure the accuracy of information in this manual. If you are aware of any mistake, we

welcome you to notify us.

We will not accept any responsibility for any accident, breakdown, fault or trouble caused by improper usage of this

model. Please thoroughly inspect your model and range check the radio before flight. Please keep the model in its

best condition in order to enjoy it.

This model does not include all the items necessary for flying. It still needs a helicopter radio control system, a 60-

size 2-stroke engine, and a muffler.

It is difficult for beginners to fly RC helicopters by themselves. It is highly recommended that beginners seek the help

of experienced RC helicopter pilots. We recommend beginners start with an inexpensive model such as the Thunder

Tiger Raptor 30 that is also designed by Mr. Taya.

RC helicopters are not toys. The manufacturer does not assume the liability for any property or bodily damage caused

by the model or the operator.

OTHER ITEMS REQUIRED

The two plastic elevator control arms should be attached to the swashplate

steel ball with the molded character number facing the swashplate ball. Because

the hole on the plastic control arm has difference opening sizes on the two

sides.The side with the molded character number has the bigger opening.

Please snap this plastic control arm gently onto the swashplate steel ball and

afterward, please check to make sure it is securely attached and there is no

damage or cracking.

The looped shape plastic control rod should be attached to the flybar control

arm with the molded character facing the steel ball. Please check to make

sure it is securely attached and there is no damage or cracking.

INSTALLATION OF THE RODS

Character No.

MARK

BODYSUPPORT INSTALLATION

Insert the aluminum support

tube through the servo frame.

It may be necessary to drill

out the hole in the servo frame

to 1/4" (6.1mm)

Insert the "R" pins through the

two holes in the support tube

so it will be retained in the

servo frame.

Install the two rubber ends onto

the support tube.The rubber

ends will dampen shake or

vibration generated by the

body.

Since there are many after-market carbon fiber and fiberglass

blades on the market now with a 12 mm thick blade root,Thunder

Tiger has now added a complimentary Blade Grip Spacer with

each Raptor 60 Kit.This spacer is specially designed for carbon

fiber or fiberglass blades with a 12mm thick blade root.The

spacer SHOULD NOTbe used on any brand or type of wood

rotor blades, including the stock Raptor 60 wood blades because

the space do not provide strength: it is just a spacer.To install

the spacer, simply bend it over and put it in place. If the blade

root is more than 12 mm, then do not use this spacer and use

the washer that comes with your blades.)

ThunderTiger provides a good selection of high performance

680mm carbon fiber rotor blades (TTR 3836). Please check

your local dealer for more information on upgrading your rotor

blades.

See wood blade modification in page 41.

19 BK0083 Pin 2x9 2

Assemble the Tail Pitch Control Slider and Pitch Control Fork

according to the drawing as follows. Insert bearings No. 8

Bearings into No. 14 Tail Pitch Control Slider. Add a tiny drop

of Loctite on the "outside" surface of No. 15 Tail Pitch Control

Bushing, then slide it into the two bearings in the No. 14 Tail

Pitch Control Slider. Thread the No. 12 Pitch Control Fork onto

the brass bushing until the bushing does not have any in and

out play, but the pitch fork should still be able to spin freely in

the bearings. Add a No. 17 Link Ball with a No. 1 Screw. Then

slide the finished pitch slider onto the tail shaft.

Now assemble the Tail Blade Grip System. First install the No.

11 Tail Rotor Hub onto the No. 16 Tail Rotor Shaft. The hub

will be almost flush with the end of the tail rotor shaft. Secure

the hub to the shaft by using two No. 6 M3x18.5 set screws.

Add a tiny drop of Loctite on the set screw before threading

them into the hub. If too much Loctite is used then it will be

impossible to remove the set screws for service in the future.

A tiny drop of Loctite is sufficient to prevent them from vibrating

out. Put a tiny drop of Loctite on the inside surface of No. 7

Bearings. Then slide two No. 7 bearings onto each end of the

tail rotor hub. Add the No. 6 3mm locknut. Do not over tighten

the two locknuts because that may break the No. 6 set screw.

Now add the two piece plastic No. 9/10 Tail Pitch Housings.

Install No. 13 Tail Pitch Control Links, No. 18 Collars, and No.

2 Screws according to the drawing.

Attach the Tail Pitch Control Links No. 13 to the Pitch Fork using

the small pins, No. 19.

Arm Subassembly No. 12 in between the Upper Metal Sideframes first.Then fit the plastic Pitch Control Frame Subassembly.

Next insert Items No. 6 ElevatorArm Shaft and No. 9 Elevator Parallel Lever Subassembly.Then secure the plastic Pitch Control

Frame using No. 2 Socket Screw and No. 14 Collar on the left side and then No. 14 Collar, No. 5 Washer, No. 10

Elevator Control

Lever

Subassembly, No. 15 Collar and No. 4 Socket Screw for the right side.Adjust the two bolts (No. 2 and No. 4) so the

Pitch Control Frame can rock freely but without excessive play. Finally, add the two plasticAileron Levers and the 66.5 mm

pushrod. (Refer to Page 45 for actual measurement.)

Before installing theAileron Levers (No. 7 and No. 8), please add a small drop of Loctite on the M3x20 socket screw (No. 3) and

on the outside of the collar d3xD4x13 (No. 15). Please do the same for parts No. 2 and No. 14 and No. 4.And No. 15.

Please complete the subassembly steps 1-2-1 through 1-2-4 first. Then attach the subassemblies to the two Lower Metal Frames.

Note that the Lower BRG Subassembly is installed upside-down. Please add a small drop of Loctite on every bolt before screwing

it into the aluminum hex spacer.

Assemble the upper main frames by starting with the two Upper Metal Frames. The Upper BRG Subassembly and Clutch/Pinion

Gear Subassembly must be assembled first according Figure 1-1-1 and 1-1-2. Also insert three hex-shape frame spacers into

the plastic Pitch Guide according to Figure 1-1-3 and 1-1-4. Then attach the finished subassemblies to the Upper Metal Frames.

Note that the two button head bolts (No. 3) are inserted and remain loose until later when they are used to secure the Body

Fitting Pins in Step 1-3. Locate Hex Wrenches in BAG K which you will use in assembly.

Please add a tiny drop of non-permanent type Loctite on the tip of the bolts before screwing them into the hex shaped aluminum

frame spacers. Never use too much Loctite, otherwise it will become nearly impossible to remove the screw later on for servicing.

Only use the non-permanent type of Loctite. If encountering difficulty in removing any bolt that was locked up by Loctite, then

heat up the head of the scare or bolt with the tip of a hot soldering iron which will help soften the cured Loctite.

For the kit, parts are bagged according to each major assembly and are labeled "Bag A, Bag

B, etc." You will note that the heading for each assembly indicates which bag correlates with

each assembly. As a good practice, only open up the bag that you need for the particular

assembly. Check the parts in that bag against the parts list shown for each assembly as well

as each sub-assembly to make sure there are no missing parts. To prevent losing small

hardware, please empty the small nuts and bolts and parts into small plastic trays on your

work table. At the end of each major assembly, there should be no left over parts.

Install BK0364 and BK0362 onto BK0365 Tail Gear Drive

Shaft. Then insert the two Pins and secure themwith two

M3x4 Set Screws. Add a tiny drop of Loctite on the set

screw thread before inserting them. Always use a very

small amount of Loctite liquid on the thread, otherwise it

may be nearly impossible to remove the set screws in the

future for servicing. Install the four ball bearings and the

hex shaped Frame Spacers according to the drawing.After

installing the two M3x4 set screws (No. 2), try push on the

2x12 pins with a small Allen wrench to make sure the set

screws have locked the pins in place securely. Before

closing the two halves of the Tail Boom Brackets, please

check the gear mesh between gears No. 4 and No. 5. If

there exists too much freeplay, then add some 5 mm i.d.

washers on top of gear No. 4. (The 5 mm i.d. washers

are not provided).

Install the silicone fuel line to the Fuel Nipple. Then add the rubber

fuel tank stopper and the clunk weight. The stock silicone fuel line

is very soft and thin and is designed to allow the clunk to pick up fuel

easily during 3-D aerobatics. The pickup line should be inspected

and replaced if necessary every month, otherwise when it becomes

soggy it can break off. A thicker silicone line maybe substituted but

make sure the clunk will reach the bottom when moving the fuel tank

to all different orientations.

Insert two hex Frame Spacers S into

the plastic Rod Guide Collars (1-3-1).

Then join the Upper Frame Assembly

to the Lower Frame Assembly according

to the drawing. Do not forget to install

the four taper washers (2) under the

bolts for the Rod Guide Collars. The

two Body Pins (BK0103) will be used

to secure the canopy in the future. Add

Loctite on all bolts and inside BK0103

threaded hole.

Install the one-piece servo frame using six self-tapping screws.

Do not use Loctite when attaching self-tapping screws to plastic

parts. Loctite is only for threading metal into metal parts.

Assemble the constant drive Main Gear Subassembly according to Figure 1-6-3 first.Then build-up the Wash Out Subassembly

and Swash Plate Subassembly according to 1-6-1 and 1-6-2. Insert the No. 5 Main Shaft into the bearings andthen add the

No. 6 Lock Ring and the slide through the Main Gear Subassembly. Do not over tighten the M4x25 bolt, otherwise the BK0359

Shaft will be distorted and prevent theAutorotation Clutch from turning freely.Add the M3x6 Socket Screw to the Locking Ring.

Slide the Locking Ring all the way up until the rotor shaft has no up and down play, then tighten the M3x6 Socket Screw.

Insert the pin into the Washout Link. If the link is tight

on the mixing arm, then gently squeeze the Link at the

pin position with a pliers while the Link is attached to

theArm.This will make the hole in the Link slightly

bigger.You may want to add just a tiny drop of Loctite

on the inside and outside of BK0409 Collar which will

help give a completely slop free control system. Do not

let the Loctite seep into the bearing.Adjust the tightness

of the M3x12 bolts so the mixing arms can move freely

but without wobble or racheting the ball bearings.

Assemble the Tail Transmission Subassembly according to 3-

1-1 first. But do not close the two halves of the transmission

tightly. You will do this when you are ready to install the gearbox

onto the tail boom.

When installing the Tail Transmission make sure the housings

match the hole on the tail boom. Tighten the five 3 mm bolts.

Add the No 8 Vertical Fin and lock nuts.

Insert the No. 13 Drive Shaft into the tail boom. Make sure the

No. 12 Tail Drive Shaft Bearing slides through the tail boom.

This Bearing should be close to the center of the drive shaft

but it is not important exactly where it is. Secure No.16 Socket

Screw and No.17 Locknut at two ends. Slide three No. 7 Rod

Guides onto the tail boom. Do not glue them onto the tail boom

yet. Add a tiny drop of CA glue to the pushrod guide after you

finish building the entire helicopter. Before adding glue, make

sure the tail pushrod is hooked up to the servo and the rod

travels in a straight line and moves very smoothly.

Add the No. 9 Stabilizer Fin and No. 10 Bracket now.

Add the No. 11 Tail Rotor Blades using No. 3 Bolts and No. 1

Locking Nuts.

Congratulation, we are almost done. Install the finished main

rotor head onto the 12 mm rotor main shaft. Secure it with a

No. 3 M4x25 socket bolt and No. 2 4 mm locknut. Make up two

113.5 mm long pushrods and attach them to the Bell-Hiller

mixing arm.

Before installing the plastic end caps, please

add a drop of slow, thick CA glue on the

rim of the end caps and on the inside edge

of the aluminum skid.

Slide the finished tail boom into the helicopter. The bolts on the

helicopter must be loose in order to insert the tail boom. Make

sure the tail drive shaft is inserted into the front receptacle

properly. Check this by turning the main rotor head. Secure

the tail boom by tightening the screws on the helicopter. Visually

check to make sure the tail rotor output shaft is perpendicular

to the main rotor shaft. Add the tail boom supports.

Secure the two plastic ends to the aluminum

tube with slow CA or epoxy glue and the

two 2 mm self tap screws, making sure the

two plastic ends are perpendicular to each

other.

Insert the engine into the sideframes,

then add the muffler.

Add a drop ofLoctite on the threads of

the M4x42 muffler bolts.

The aluminum cooling fan hub is threaded. Place the washer that came with

your engine onto the engine crankshaft first.Then screw the fan hub onto the

engine.Add a tiny drop of Loctite on the engine nut. Do not use to much

otherwise the nut will be impossible to remove later on.Tighten the engine nut

using a socket head wrench while grabbing the plastic fan with a towel.The

nut should be tighten securely, but do not over torque it because you may

damage the plastic fan, or the plastic fan may come apart from the aluminum

fan hub. For 50-size or bigger engines, we do not recommend using a piston

locking tool on the glow plug hole because that may damage the engine.Attach

the No. 6 Steel Clutch, to the fan hub.

Add a drop of

Loctite on the threads of the M4x8 bolts.The threads on the

aluminum cooling fan hub are for theTT70H or the OS 61 SX and OS 61 LX

engines. IfYS 61 STII engines are used, then the fan hub must b re-tapped

by the modeler or purchase optional fan hub with threads for theYS engine.

Install the servos and make up the pushrods according to the drawings.The distance between the steel ball and the center of

servo arm are shown in the drawing. Use them as a guide.These distances are used in conjunction with the servo travels set

to 100% for all the channels in the transmitter. Fine tune them to suit your personal flying style.

Make up the throttle and collective control pushrods according

to the drawing. Use the outermost hole on the throttle control

arm.Attach the steel ball on the throttle servo arm at approximately

the same distance as the steel ball on the throttle arm.

Install the receiver and receiver battery. Even though the receiver and battery can be attached to the helicopter tray using double

sided foam tape, but it is better to wrap the receiver and battery separately using half inch or 1o mm thick foam.Then secure

them to the tray using six to eight rubberbands.

Carefully cut out the transparent canopy

(windshield) using a scissors.The best

scissors to use are the ones designed to cut

RC car bodies. Install the canopy to the body

using six small screws. Drill small holes in

the canopy and body for the holes. Drill two

more holes for the rubber grommets.

Make up the landing gear according to the

drawing. Do not over tighten the four M4x5 set

screws or the plastic brace may crack. After

inserting the four plastic end caps into the skids,

add some CA glue around the edges to prevent

them from falling out. Add the gear to the

helicopter using four self-tapping screws. You

may want to add a drop of CA between the metal

skid and the plastic landing gear brace to prevent

the skid from turning. If you fly off concrete

surface, then adding some optional silicone tubing

or "skid stoppers" on the skid will help protect

the bottom of the plastic landing gear braces and

prevent the helicopter from sliding on the ground.

This is useful during takeoff and at autorotation

time.

slide on the No.10 Seesaw Hub and the other No.4, 9, 11. Make sure the Flybar has equal protruding from each side of the Seesaw

Hub, then install and tighten the No.6 HME4-5B set screws. Add the paddles. Make sure the two paddles and the two flybar control

arms are all parallel. Lock the paddles with No.5 set screws.

Assemble and install the No.12 Mixing Levers and No.7 Bearings according to the drawing using No.8 Collar so it will stay with

the inside surface of the ball bearing. Be careful do not let the Loctite seep into the bearings.

Note: Before installing the Mixing Lever (No.12), please add a small drop of Loctite along the entire length of the M3x18 socket

screw (No.2) and on the outside of the collar d3xD4x13 (No.8). There are two choices of the hole positions on t he aluminum

seesaw for attaching the mixing lever arm. Please use the out side hole position, this gives higher Bell-Hiller mixing ratio and

more stability. For very aggressive 3D flying, attach the Bell-Hiller mixing arms to the inner hole on fly seesaw, but the optional

metal flybar control arms (No.PV0294) must be used, otherwise the mixing arm can touch the plastic flybar control arm.
