Helibug is proud to announce Thunderbird
Gasser Conversion - a very long-awaited Gasser Conversion for
ThunderTiger Raptor 90.
We have received many requests for this state-of-art R/C Helicopter
Gasser Conversion.
It took us a while to come up with a very unique and 'simple to convert'
design.
This new conversion for the Raptor 90, is one of the
most simplest conversion produced by Helibug.
Simple installation without dismantling the whole Helicopter. Only
require replacing the metal stock
side frames one by one along with few steps to install the RC Engine. There are no links to replace or adjust, no
relocation of any parts at all. All
electronics stays at its stock location.
We have kept the total required parts count to minimum to reduce all up
weight. If something is not
required, its not there.
As always, Helibug keeps it Simple
Side frame material is 0.125" thick (>3mm) G10/FR4. That's >0.5mm
thicker than stock Raptor 90 Side frames.
We have also replaced the stock clutch/clutch bell/pinion. Our
conversion uses Trex-700 Clutch set.
Easily available anywhere along with few upgrade clutches from
third-party manufacturers.
This conversion kit is designed to use a 10oz fuel
tank under the nose of Helicopter inside the Canopy. Fuel capacity
is good from 10-15 minutes of flying - depending on the type of flying
you do and the power of engine you select to install in your helicopter.
For longer flying time, its possible to use a bigger fuel tank.
Our conversion kit supports all available main gears for Raptor 90 (from
90T to 95T). 14T pinion is
supplied with our Conversion kit. 91T stock main gear will give you 6.5 Gear
Ratio.
Good for >1900 Headspeed.
To get the best out of RC Engine, we mount the engine from Top and
bottom for vibration free 3D
performance. You will also need 8 pieces of Frame Mounting Blocks
(HN6019) from Trex600 to complete this
conversion. 4 pieces will go on Engine mount plate and another 4 will go
on the baseplate.

WARNING: The radio controlled model helicopter built from this conversion kit is
not a toy and is not meant for children. It is a flying machine capable
of causing property damage and serious bodily harm to both the
operator/assembler and/or spectator if not built and operated correctly
and responsibly. Rotating components, especially the main rotor blades,
are an ever-present danger. Model helicopters operate differently than
model cars and airplanes. Helicopters by their nature are not positively
stable, meaning that even if properly assembled and adjusted,
helicopters will not recover from an unwanted flight attitude, nor will
they hold any particular orientation without constant control inputs
from the pilot.
IT IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROPERLY BUILD,
MAINTAIN AND OPERATE HELICOPTER.
HELIBUG has spent considerable time making this
product reliable and easy to build, but only the operator can insure
that it is safe. Because the safe operation of this helicopter is beyond
the control of the Manufacturer and distributor, the owner/operator
assumes all risk of use.
