This is the Thunder Tiger Raptor 30 V2 30-Class RC Helicopter with the Thunder Tiger Pro-39H helicopter engine. Since the introduction of the original Raptor 30 in 1998, many have been sold around the world. It has helped beginners master the art of RC helicopter flying. This model was designed and engineered by the World-renowned Mr. Shigetada Taya. It combines elements of his previously successful designs with today's advanced technologies. This is truly a versatile model helicopter for everyone.

The New Raptor 30 V2 improved features now provide the entry-level helicopter pilot a stable learning platform while satisfying what the 3D pilots asked for. The Raptor 30 V2 features tough redesigned side frames - reinforced pitch control arm - improved swash plate - new fuel tank - new muffler - and a fresh new look in a colorful body shell. The rapid cyclic response makes it possible for the 3D pilot to execute crisp maneuvers like the Tic-Toc - Chaos - Death Spirals - and some we haven't seen yet! Add the optional upgrades such as the PV 0379 Auto Rotation Gear and do 3D maneuvers during auto-rotation. Other options include - the all-metal Main Rotor Hub - Main Rotor Grip - Tail Rotor Plate and many more.

The Thunder Tiger team of engineers and test pilots have collected feedback from around the world and have made the Raptor 30 an even better helicopter. New molds and tooling for parts and many other areas have subtle changes to increase strength and durability. All production parts use the most modern technology available to meet the standards as set forth by ISO-9001. In the last few years, time and resources have been employed to develop a new Thunder Tiger PRO-39H(R) engine for the Raptor 30 V2 and other 30 size helicopters. Available in ARF or kit form, the new Raptor 30 V2 and the PRO-39H(R) engine will provide you with many hours of enjoyment.

With the largest displacement available in the 30-size class, the Pro-39H engine is one of the most powerful helicopter engines in this class on the market. Customers who have tried the Pro-39H all agree it is one of the most user-friendly and best performing engines for any 30-size helicopter. The affordable price of the Pro-39H makes it the ideal engine foe the beginners who are just starting out or the experienced rc helicopter pilot.

All Thunder Tiger PRO series helicopter ring-type engines have been designed to combine high performance with easy handling and maintenance using CAD computer technology, resulting in consistent high quality and reliability. The engines are equipped with dual ball-bearings, Schnuerle porting, one ring-type piston / cylinder assembly and two-needles automatic mixture control carburetor. Subjected to rigorous quality control check ensures that it will provide years of trouble free use.
