Thank you very much for purchasing the Thunder T iger Raptor 90 3D R/C helicopter . The design of Raptor
90 3D is based on the original Raptor 90 series helicopter and modified for extreme aerobatics. It has all
needed must-have optional parts for 3D flying, such as metal main rotor hub, non-linear flapping damper ,
metal BRG, 3D light paddles and so on. It also adopts the push-pull control system on collective pitch
and elevator to achieve the most precise control. The flybar ratio is changeable to fit all kinds of flying
style. Use of high quality material make the helicopter one tough machine that can handle everyday 3D
beating. Raptor 90 3D is born for 3D flying, and you don
’ t have to do any further modification for aggressive
3D maneuver . This is by far the best machine you have never seen. Just enjoy the model and have fun.
UNIQUE SIDEFRAME SYSTEM
Aluminum side plates are used in conjunction with molded material to construct the main structure. This
design produces minimum weight with maximum strength. If the sideframes were completely made of
molded material, then to achieve equal strength the plastic would have to be very thick and heavy
. Using
molded material at the right place avoids using metal angle brackets or putting compound bends in metal
frames. Slots have been added in the frame design to permit the use of optional gear ratios to optimize
engine performance to suit any pilot's demand.
BELL-HIILLER MIXING CONTROL UNIT
Main rotor control geometry has been carefully engineered to minimize cross-coupling in collective and
cyclic commands. Blade pitch arms and the Bell-Hiller mixing arms are designed at an angle such that
the pushrod interlinking them are at 90 degrees when the blades are at 0 degree. The pilots will get the
symmetrical cyclic control feel and flybar authority either at +10 or -10 degrees of collective. W
e design
this system with the 3-D pilot in mind. W e guarantee you this whole design philosophy provides a strong
and accurate control mechanism.
SHAFT DRIVE T AIL RO T OR
The Raptor 90 3D is designed with a constant drive tail rotor system to permit full tail rotor control during
autorotations. 180 autos, backward autos and pirouette autos are all within your reach now
. It has the
same aluminum torque tube system as the
Thunder T iger/T aya Imperio helicopter . This allows obtaining
the maximum performance from any modern heading lock gyros.
3D CAD DESIGN
W e use the latest 3D Computer Aided Design to design and manufacture the Raptor 90 3D. Our high-
tech CAD program allows simulation of all moving parts to ensure no interference. The analysis automatically
analyze the weight, the mass distribution, and inertia to help us pursue a design that will provide the high
level of maneuverability needed for all-out 3-D aerobatics.

Please complete subassembly steps 1-2-1 through 1-2-3 first. Then attach the subassemblies to the two Lower Frames. Note
that the Metal Lower BRG is installed with the bearing open side facing up.
Please add a small drop of Loctite on every bolt
before screwing it into the aluminum hex spacer
. Do not apply Loctite to the bolts which are going to secure the Lower BRG
Block at this moment.
Assemble the upper main frames by starting with the two Metal Upper Frames. The Pinion Gear Subassembly must be assembled
first according to Figure 1-1-1. Next insert three hex-shape frame spacers into the plastic Pitch Guide according to Figure 1-1
-2
and 1-1-3.
Assemble the Elevator Control Arm subassembly according to 1-1-4. Insert it in between the two Upper Frames. The
metal Elevator Control
Arm is not symmetrical. The side with the longer profruding round knob should be on the right side of the
helicopter
. Then attach the other subassemblies to the Upper Frames. Locate Hex W renches in BAG L which you ne ed for
assembly
.
Please add a tiny drop of non-permanent type Loctite on the tip of all bolts before screwing them into the hex shaped aluminum
frame spacers. Never use too much Loctite, otherwise it will become nearly impossible to remove later on for servicing. Only use
the non-permanent type of Loctite. If encountering dif
ficulty in removing any bolt that was locked up by Loctite, heat up the head
of the screw or bolt with the tip of a hot soldering iron, it will help soften the cured Loctite.
For the kit, parts are bagged according to each major assembly and are labeled "Bag A, Bag
B, etc."
The heading for each assembly indicates which bag to open. As a go od practice,
only open up the bag that you need for the particular assembly
. Check the parts in that bag
against the parts list shown for each assembly as well as each sub-assembly to make sure
there are no missing parts.
T o prevent losing small hardware, please empty the small nuts
and bolts and parts into small plastic trays on your work table.
At the end of each major
assembly , there should be no left over parts.
The fuel tank comes assembled from the factory because every tank has been
checked for leak. If you were to take the tank apart here is how to put it back
together
. Install the silicone fuel line to the Fuel Nipple. Then add the rubber
fuel tank stopper and the clunk weight.
The stock silicone fuel line is very soft
and thin which is designed to allow the clunk to pick up fuel easily during 3-D
aerobatics.
The pickup line should be inspected and replaced if necessary every
month, otherwise when it becomes soggy it can break of
f. A thicker silicone line
maybe substituted but make sure the clunk will reach the bottom when moving
the fuel tank to all dif
ferent orientations.

As show in Figure 1-3-1, insert two hex
Frame Spacers S into the plastic Rod
Guide Collars.
Then join the Upper
Frame Assembly to the Lower Frame
Assembly according to drawing 1-3.
Secure the Set Screws (No.1) to the
frames, and fit the Body Posts (No.4)
to the Set Screews. The two Body Posts
will be used to secure the canopy in the
future. Add Loctite on all bolts and
inside BK0103 threaded hole.
Install the one-piece servo frame with six self-tapping screws.
Do not use Loctite when attaching self-tapping screws to plastic
parts. Loctite is only for threading metal into metal parts.
Assemble the constant drive Main Gear Subassembly according to Figure 1-6-2 first. Then build up the Wash Out Subassembly
according to 1-6-1. Insert the No.3 Main Shaft into the bearings and then add the No.4 Lock Ring and slide in the Main Gear
Subassembly. Add two M3x6 Button Head Screws to the Locking Ring, and the two screws are threaded into the holes on the
main rotor shaft.
The locking ring prevents the main shaft from sliding up. Line up the hole on the main gear and the main shaft, then insert M4x25
mm Bolt through them. Place a 4 mm M4 locknut on the other side of the autorotation hub, and then tighten the Bolt. Do not
over tighten the Bolt, otherwise the autorotation assembly will be distorted. Loosen the 3mm bolts holding the Upper and lower
bearing blocks for the 12mm main shaft. Wiggle the main shaft in the bearing blocks until the main shaft spins freely in the bearings.
This ensures the upper and lower bearing blocks are aligned. Push the lower bearing block up until the main shaft has no up
and down play. Then tighten the 3mm bolts for the upper and lower bearing blocks.
Insert the pin into the Washout Link. Add a tiny drop of Loctite on the inside
and outside of BK0409 Collar which will help give a completely slop free
control system. Do not let the Loctite seep into the bearing. Adjust the
tightness of the M3x12 bolts so the mixing arms can move freely but without
wobble or racheting the ball bearings. Add a ti ny drop of thick CA glue at
the tip of the M2x10 self-tapping screw (No. 1) before screwing it into the
Flybar Control Levers (No. 6).
Make the two pushrods for controlling the blade pitch. The distance 43 mm is measured between the center of two pushrod holes.
Attach the Seesaw Hub of the Control Paddle Assembly to the Main Rotor Head with Socket Screws (M3x10).
Please add a small drop of Loctite along the entire length of the M3x10 Socket Screw (No.5) and on the outside of the collar
d3xD4x5.5 (No.3). Temporarily install the Washout Base Guidence Ring, but do not tighten the No.6 M3 Socket Screw yet.
Assemble the tail transmission subassembly according to 3-
1-1 and 3-1-2 first.
And the tail drive shaft subassembly according
to 3-1-3.But do not close the two halves of the tail transmission
tightly
. Y ou will do this when you are ready to install the gearbox
onto the tail boom.
When installing the tail transmission, make sure the housings
match the hole on to the tail boom.
Add Carbon V ertical Fin with
machined washer and Locknut, then tighten the five 3 mm bolts.
Add carbon V
ertical Fin with Pom washer and Locknut.
Before inserting the finished tail drive shaft assembly into the
tail boom, add some flexible silicone glue or ZAP
Goop glue
around the outside of the tail drive bearing housing.
This will
prevent the bearing housing from spinning inside the tail boom.

Install bearings No. 2 and No.3 into the T ail Cases. Install No.
16
T ail Bevel Gear onto the T ail Shaft. Gently tap the No. 17
Pin into the Bevel Gear and
T ail Shaft. Then secure the pin
with a No. 7 Set Screw with Loctite.
After installing the M3x4 set screws, try pushing on the 2x12
pin with a small
Allen wrench to make sure the set screw has
locked the pin in place securely
. Before closing the two halves
of the
T ail Cases, please check the gear mesh between gears
No. 15 and No. 16. If the gears mesh too tight, then a 5 mm
i.d. washer should be added to move the gear No. 16 further
out. If there exists too much freeplay
, then a 5 mm i.d. washer
to push gear No. 16 closer to gear No. 15.
Install the No. 12
T ail Pitch Control Lever as shown with No. 6
Slide four No. 6 Rod Guides onto the tail boom. Do not glue
them onto the tail boom yet.
Add a tiny drop of CA glue to the
pushrod guide after you finish building the entire helicopter
.
Before adding glue, make sure the tail pushrod is hooked up
to the servo and the rod travels in a straight line and moves
very smoothly
.
Congratulation, we are almost done. Install the finished main
rotor head onto the 12 mm rotor main shaft. Secure it with a
M4x20 Bolt and M4 Locknut. Make up two 1 13.5 mm long
pushrods and attach them to the Bell-Hiller mixing arm.
Before installing the plastic end caps, please
add a drop of slow, thick CA glue on the
rim of the end caps and on the inside edge
of the aluminum skid.
Slide the finished tail boom into the helicopter. The four bolts
on the helicopter must be loose in order to insert the tail boom.
Make sure the tail drive shaft is inserted into the front receptacle
properly. Check this by turning the main rotor head. Secure
Secure the two ends to the rod with Epoxy, making sure the
two metal ends are perpendicular to each other.
(4)
Attach the engine into the side frames, with four M4x12 bolts and
four washers, but do not tighten until Section 6-1.
Install the muffler after you have building the entire helicopter.
Always add Loctite on the muffler bolts.
Install the servos and make up the pushrods according to the drawings. The distance between the steel ball and the center of
servo arm are shown in the drawing. Use them as a guide. These distances are used in conjunction with the servo travels (ATV
or End point) set to 100% for all the channels in the transmitter. Tune them later on to suit your personal flying style.
Attach the rudder servo to the rear mounted carbon plate with four 2.6mm bolts and four M2.6 locknut.
Make up the throttle and collective control pushrods according
to the drawing. Use the outermost hole on the carburetor throttle
control arm. Attach the steel ball on the throttle servo arm at
approximately the same distance as the steel ball on the throttle
arm.
Make up the throttle at 97.5mm long first, and then adjust the
pushrod length and throttle servo ATV or Endpoint so full throttle
stick command will open the carburetor barrel fully. And full low
stick and low throttle trim will close the carburetor barrel completely.
Install the receiver and receiver battery. Even though the receiver and battery can be attached to the helicopter tray by using
double sided foam tape, but it is better to wrap the receiver and battery separately using half inch or 10 mm thick foam. Then
secure them to the tray using six to eight rubberbands, or Velcro bands.
Carefully cut out the canopy (windshield) using scissors. The
best scissors to use are (TTR 1304) designed to cut RC car
bodies and Canopy. Install the canopy to the body using six
small screws. Drill small holes in the canopy and body for the
holes. Drill two more holes for the rubber grommets.
Refer to color box and apply the decals (In BAG M).

Assemble the metal flybar control arms according to the drawings. Slide Flybar Control Arm onto the No.18 Flybar Rod. Slide
the flybar into the No.17 Seesaw Hub. Make sure the Flybar has equal protrusion from each side of the Seesaw Hub measure
them with a ruler, then install and tighten the No.8 HME4-5B set screws. Add the paddles. Make sure the two paddles and the
two flybar control arms are all parallel. Lock the paddles with No.6 set screws.
Assemble and install the No.10 Mixing Levers and No.5 Bearings according to the drawing using No.12 Collar and No.9 d3xD5x0.5
washer.
Note: Before installing the Mixing Lever (No.10), please add a small drop of Loctite along the entire length of the M3x18 button
head socket screw (No.4) and on the outside of the collar d3xD4x13 (No.12). Be careful do not let the Loctite seep into the bearings.
There are two choices of hole positions on the aluminum seesaw for attaching the mixing lever arm. The outside hole gives higher
Bell-Hiller mixing ratio. For aggressive 3D flying, you can attach the Bell-Hiller mixing arms to the inner hole which gives lower
flybar ratio.

Insert the aluminum Main Rotor Hub Pin and the Flap Dampers. (might need to apply silicone grease for easy installation). Push
the No.7 Feathering Spindle into the dampers and the rotor hub. Add No. 14 Flybar Control Rod. Slide both finished Main Rotor
Grip onto the feathering spindle and the secure with two M4x10 bolts and washers according to the drawing. Use two Allen
wrenches to tighten the two M4x10 bolts simultaneously.
Important Note:
The Raptor 90 3D kits come with non-linear flap damper for aggressive 3D flying. You may choose to experiment adding from
one up to three 0.4mm thick shim (No.10) washers between the washer (No.8) and bearing to further stiffen the main rotor flapping.
Stiffing the main rotor head will speed up the cyclic transient response, but may cause the helicopter fuselage to oscillate at around
1600 RPM. This oscillation characteristic exists for all helicopters with hard 3D flap dampers. The inner dampers should be
replaced periodically if a lot of 3D flying has been done. When the dampers are worn, the main rotor blades can flap excessively
during some 3D maneuvers and risk touching the tail boom.
Add flexible silcone glue or ZAP
Goop glue around the outside
before insert ing into the tail
boom from the front side.

It is important to use main rotor blades
that are of high quality and suitable
for your flying style. If fiberglass or
carbon graphite blades are used, the
length should be between 680 and
710 mm. Blade weigh t should be
between 170 and 200 grams.
Starter System
T o start the engine, it is necessary to
use an electric starter with a 6mm
shaft extension.
The starter and the
6 mm extension are available from
Thunder
T iger , the part numbers are
No.2675 and No.3801.
Use a strong high torque 12 volt
electric starter which is designed for
models.

Add a small drop of Loctite.
Make sure it locks the pin.
Install BK0364 and BK0362 onto BK0365 T ail Gear Drive Shaft. Then insert the
two Pins and secure them with two M3x4 Set Screws.
Add a tiny drop of Loctite
on the set screw thread before inserting them.
Always use a very small amount
of Loctite liquid on the thread, otherwise it may be nearly impossible to remove
the set screws in the future for servicing.
After installing the two M3x4 set screws
(No. 1), try to push on the 2x12 pins with a small
Allen wrench to make sure the
set screws have locked the pins in place securely
. Install the four ball bearings
and the hex shaped Frame Spacers according to the drawing.
Before closing
the two halves of the
T ail Boom Brackets, please check the gear mesh between
gears No. 4 and No. 5. If there exists too much freeplay
, add some 5 mm i.d.
washers on top of gear No. 4. (The 5 mm i.d. washers are provided in BAG G).
Add a small drop of Loctite.
Make sure it locks the pin.

Attach the engine mount to the engine using four 4mm bolts and Loctite.
The cooling fan hub is threaded to fit the OS, TT or Webra only. Place the washer that came with your engine onto the engine
crankshaft first. Then screw the fan hub onto the engine. Add a tiny drop of Loctite on the engine nut. Do not use too much
Loctite. Tighten the engine nut using a socket head wrench while grabbing the fan with a towel. The nut should be tighten securely.
For 50-size or bigger engines, we do not recommend using a piston locking tool on the glow plug hole because that may damage
the engine. Attach the No. 8 Heavy Duty Clutch to the fan hub. Add a drop of Loctite on the threads of the M4x8 bolts. The
threads on the aluminum cooling fan hub are for the TT 70H, OS 61 SX, OS 61LX, OS 70H, TT 90H, OS 91 or Webra 91 engines.
If YS 61, 80 or 91 engines are used, the fan hub must be re-tapped by the modeler to M8x1mm thread size or purchase a optional
plastic fan hub with threads for the YS engine(PV0198YS) or the metal fan for the YS (PV0293YS).

Please complete subassemblies 1-5-1 through 1-5-5 first, then add them to the Main Frame. Fit the Pitch Control Frame
Subassembly. Attach the E Ring on the left side of the Metal Elevator Control Arm. Then fit the Elevator Control Lever to the
right side, insert the pin and fix it with a set screw. Secure the Pitch Control Frame with a M3*10 Socket Screw and a collar on
the left side. And attach the Elevator Push Pull Lever to the right side of the Pitch Control Frame as shown. Adjust the two bolts
so that the Pitch Control Frame can move freely without excessive play. Finally, add the two plastic Aileron Levers and the 66.5mm
elevator pushrod. Add the Washers (BK0088) to make sure that the Aileron Lever and the Metal Elevator Parallel Lever will not
touch each other during operation.
