I was trying to search on here and see if anyone has fit Raptor 30 mechanics in the Thunder tiger fuses but I can only find info on 60's. I have my eye on one of the fuse's from heliproz specifically either the army or civilan MD 530's. I dont want to buy one until I know what exactly is involved, does the elevator arm need to be trimmed on the 30 or is that just when trying to fit it in a bell 222 for example? Any info would be great

The TT fuses are made for the Raptors, so there are no fitment issues. The MD530 fuses are designed for the R50 Titan (with the long boom), but the tail boom can be trimmed to fit the R50 V2. I have a V2 in mine.

The R30 is much the same as the R50, and should bolt in. You would need to use the R50 boom/belt/tail components. Mine weighs 11lbs, so I can't tell you how it would fly with a 30 engine. I recall seeing threads where guys were building these with 30s, but never saw any flight results...

I have the Funkey Hughes 500E with a Raptor 30 V1 W/ a TT39 and Mavrikk G5 Pro 600mm blades.
I changed the boom & belt to a 50 and flip the tail over for realism. It flys awesome and has more than enough power for scale flight.
To change the boom and belt should only cost $30.00 to $40.00. The blades are $75.00
