Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 v2 - 15 years old but brand new!!

[@Evo2inside]

I own 3 raptors beside TDR and Compass 6hv... But I like the raptors most... They are legends and legends never die 👌 I fly my raptors every week if it's possible

[@amirulsiddiq7764]

Love to see this bird still flying out there in this world of 2021..I am rebuilding mine which is not new but reconditioned it to the standard of current heli setup..new servos new engine..hopefully going to see my R50 in the air soon. This vdeo inspire a lot...cheers from Malaysia

[@ArcticRc]

Thank you so much for the nice comment. Make sure to post a picture of your heli on our facebook page😊

[@wuseling]

There is a rumor among model pilots. As someone once said: Electric model helicopters will never be possible. Today it is a brave action to fly a heli with loud and smelly combustion engine.(I bet, some of you guys will have tears in you eyes)

[@voneboy]

Absolutely awesome👊😎.Personally I love this kind of flying without all the crazy 3D stuff..Furthermore the Raptor 50 V2 is in my opinion one of the most beautiful looking nitro helicopters ever produced! A big like for this video from germany 👍

[@ArcticRc]

I have just got two bigger ones. One G4 and one g4.1. Both with os105. I dont like that smack 3d eighter.

[@voneboy]

@@ArcticRc Nice👍 In terms of rc helicopter I“m actually a beginner,I“am training to fly with my Align T-Rex 600 CF and I enjoy it a lot!I can’t explain the true reason for this,but I love the feeling of the flybarsystem 😋

[@zoof1]

These were some of the best helicopters ever made. Super durable and great 3D machines. Good to see this flying again. I regularly fly my Raptor 90 SE with a 9ZWC2 as well.

[@very9000]

Hello 🤝 Do you have a video on setting up this helicopter? The question is the alignment of the swashplate and flybar.

[@ArcticRc]

I will check with the pilot

[@ctbully]

Rators are Bullet Proof, thats why they will stay the Legend of RC Heli's

[@Chio_OB]

Lovely, I have 3, all on 2.4 though, one is main, 2 for spares all in 2.4 for them all was £380. I've got a trex 600fbl after I've finally destroyed these, they all fly awesome!

[@beastehful]

I came of age in the era of long FM antennae but even now it looks ridiculous seeing that thing. I remember drooling over a Raptor 50 V2 during those days. I had a Nexus 30 back in the day which flew very nicely for a beginner but not so great for 3D. Thanks for the video, very cool to see someone bring one to life all these years later

[@ArcticRc]

Thank you sir for that great comment🥰

[@melvinw.quinene841]

I bought my first ever TT Raptor 30V2 back in May of 2008, it was such an awesome heli to fly ! These days I have an XL power 550 another awesome heli,however, I had a minor mishap so I need to change out the main gear,main shaft blade holder are and tail boom,minor dings to it but other then that it flies line a beast.

[@giotek5746]

I have the same helicopter, it's very good mechanics. Congratulations!!!

Real skills - max respect

[@MrMikef350]

That’s awesome mate,I am picking one of these up this weekend and I can’t wait 😁

[@levihogge9144]

I just picked up two of these helicopters on a trade with several brand new engines.

[@sergeyivanov1898]

Very nice!

[@AlexBongRCFunLand]

Nice! my R50SE is in reborn for MD530 fuselage now.... progressing very slowly.....

[@rodhawkins5037]

Sweet👍

[@selivanyro]

You fly real crashless calm natural trip style no 3d boom bang heck insanity, so do I fellow pilot, IMO if you ever wanna grow go Scale or FPV fields, safe travels above the clouds!

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Sad this hobby is long dead. I had a Raptor 30 and 60 V2 and I still have my 90SE. All controlled by the same Futaba 9CHP.

[@Evo2inside]

This hobby isn't dead... But not mainstream anymore 😅

[@rcrotorfreak]

@@Evo2inside Shoot our club has like over 30 of people who fly on saturday. LOL

[@timgovier7884]

Definitely not dead my friend. I fly exactly the same helicopter in a club and model helicopters are still booming

[@Evo2inside]

@@goldenmanuever1176 sad for USA people. Yes there was a heli boom in this time around 2005. Some freaks found the way to this hobby, but quit some years later. But the old core of heli enthusiasts like me stayed. In our club in Germany we have 50/50% Fixed wing /Heli. And not a single drone, because it's boring as hell

[@ninerout399]

Took mine out the other day to see what I needed to do to get it back in the air

[@ArcticRc]

Lovely helis.

[@luisbernardogabarresantiag9511]

Amigo quiero comprar un raptor 50 me lo recomendarías?? gracias 👍🏼

[@DiscoverRC]

heli waited 15 years for this and in only 3 years is off to college...

[@ArcticRc]

Cant't afford it... needs to sell donuts the rest of his life🤣🤪

[@dowboykfx470]

Think it worth buy one today for 350 us dollars?

[@ArcticRc]

If you are a collector perhaps.. But you can get them a bit cheaper on garage sales..

[@dowboykfx470]

@@ArcticRc thank you

[@johnblythe6453]

Hello I have one of these what Gyro did you use on this ? is an align 3gx any good. Thanks

[@ArcticRc]

You will find it in the info section of this video Sir. It is an old heading hold gyro for flybar. 3GX is more towards flybarless i think. 😊

[@kevingoldbey7401]

Hi can u tell me what links do I set to get the blade pitch right is it the small ones one the grips or long ones on the swash plate

[@ArcticRc]

The ones from the servoes to swash is to set swash level. Use the long ones and make sure the short ones has the same lenght. It should be mentioned in the manual how long.

[@kevingoldbey7401]

I no I just need the settings on both high needel and the one in the throttle arm thanks

[@rcrotorfreak]

Every raptor is different. Different servo, pitch blade and also different weather its all different.

[@ВиталийАдаричев-н8т]

Классный вертолетик

[@trucko8857]

i got a raptor 50 bare no engine or servos display model never flown never had time to build it not sure what to do with the heli times have changed its all flybarless now !:( if anyone give me some suggestions it’s welcomed

[@ArcticRc]

Get servoes engine and a headhold gyro and fly it😊 If not see if you can swap it at a swap meet😊

[@traileater]

Id buy it depending on location.

[@very9000]

Hello. Does your gear ⚙️ rotate with the rotor?

[@ArcticRc]

Not sure sir. Im not the pilot😊

[@very9000]

@@ArcticRc понятно

[@kevingoldbey7401]

Hi what u have ur both needel set at I have same heli

[@ArcticRc]

Hey i will forward this message to the pilot. But remember it was -23° outside so adjusting the needle is a must.

[@kevingoldbey7401]

Just ask him is it two half turns out from closed with the petrol side and I don't no about other side is the one that's bugging me

[@ArcticRc]

@@kevingoldbey7401 the other side is preference to idle settings but try 1.5 turn from fully closed. 😊

[@kevingoldbey7401]

Thanks man I got it running love now
