Thunder Tiger GT5

[Si Goodchild]

What a cracking looking piece of kit. And a good price too. It'll be interesting to see how it performs.

Anyone wanna buy a s/h Curtis Youngblood Total G with a pair of satellites?

[J-S-Q]

Yes, I'd definitely be interested to hear any reports on how this performs. Not sure if I want to be the first to find out though.

Got mine today, going to go through the instructions this evening, nothing like the BX too set up, think I may stick it on the old Raptor 90.............

Keep us informed how it works out as I'am also interested in this unit-thinking about converting both my Raptor 620SE and E550 to flybarless,,,, Can I ask what head you're using on your 90 ??

How many channels do you get when using it with SPektrum Satellites? I'm wondering whether I'd still be able to use a Gryphon glow driver, switchable from my radio, which would require 8 channels.

I am using the SG FBL head, and it has worked very well, I loved flying it, I found that the TT swash plate was no good though as the balls are too close too the swash and popped the links off when at there full travel, a Quick uk swash was the answer, I think the new X50 FBL head would fit yours and hopefully it will not be to much of a mission converting for you.............

Thats my hope too will let you know how I get on................

[jwatts007]

Well been at a few hours now, the menu has symbols and although it is a good little screen, its too much for my tired eyes, not going to be easy on a sunny dat either.................

[jwatts007]

Well it I got of off the ground, I am using 2 sat set up with an align guvernor, problem I have is not being able to operate the gains for both the guv and the tail, I am useing a DSX9, set up is easier now I have entered the menu a few times, I am beginning to get my head around it, anyone else had a go of setting one of these up............

[callum]

I must admit.. When I saw this I instantly took a liking to it.. and I'm very interested in the unit..

Only because it has nice LCD Display and has touch menu operation.. :P

But honesty.. It looks like a good bit of kit! and well priced

[jwatts007]

In the set up menu I may have too choose dx7 this may sort out the gain channels, I also thought it had presets for TT helis but I have not seen these or come across them in the menu, or instructions..............

I'd be interested in knowing if you can get the governor gain working. Having just read the manual, I don't believe that it is possible.

[J-S-Q]

That would be quite a major drawback. Surely the wouldn't have left that facility out?

Jwatts... any word on how many channels you can use (I'm using a Spektrum DX8 if that makes any difference).

[Mark_T]

I've also just read the manual and it looks like you don't have direct access to the tail gain from the radio either.

It presents a composite gain adjustment for all axis as a single figure.

Any change will alter all three proportional to their initial settings but you can't just alter the tail remotely.

I can't see how to manage a governor if you just want to use satellites either as it does not seem to present Aux2 on the device so you appear to only have 6 channels available, not 7.

How does the BeastX handle this?
