Hey guys........been out for awhile

hey guys, got alot of bad things going on in my life, and been not flying all summer, and it settling down a bit, and just want to ask a question..........while i was not around, what happened to thunder tiger........my favorite raptor 30.......if she breaks where do i get parts.....wow its like having a quick world wide heli all over again ????

[mr96walrus]

I get my Raptor 30/50 parts from Heli-Kraft. The old Raptor series is dying off. I still love mine. The Thunder Tiger USA website doesn't show the Raptor 50S anymore... I think the nitro helis in general are becoming dinosaurs.

You can check ebay for parts as well.

maybe nitro cost will go down.......i do love the smell in the morning

I've enjoyed my X50 more than any heli I've ever owned. Guess I adopted too late...just in time for TT to discontinue it, and all other nitro helis.

But, not everyone has dropped off...Align, Gaui, Synergy, TSA all remain. I will fly my X50 as long as I can. I just flew Friday between sleet and snow squals, and had a blast.

this will be the new place for thunder tiger helicopter parts. i hear this is the company that bought thunder tiger -HRP Distributing, Inc. i heard rumors they should be fully stocked again in a month or so. so right now no one has much thunder tiger parts!

if you don't mind buying from the uk. there is this uk company on ebay selling thunder tiger parts. http://stores.ebay.com/Fast-Lad-Perf...34Q2ec0Q2em322

Cruz...I sent you a pm about qww. I work right in the area and can check if John is still representing them to see if I can get parts for you. As for my raptor I sold it for a song and dance. Hope things start to look up for you.
