Well....Here is your chance

    I have a Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 for sale. I has roughly 12 flights on it with no crashes.

    Sale does not include the rx, regulator or flight pack(pictured), but includes starter and wand(not pictured).

    All you will need to complete and fly: rx, tx, regulator(unless you are using A123 batts) and flight pack.

    Heli specs:
    Thunder Tiger Raptor 50
    Thunder Tiger Carbon fiber main and tail rotors
    O.S. 50 SX-H ringed hyper engine
    Futaba GY401 gyro
    Cyclic servos: Futaba S9001
    Rudder servo: Futaba S9254

    Price: $350 plus shipping cost/options (see below)

    $30 Shipping to lower 48 states or buyer to pay actual cost outside of the lower 48 states area.

    Local pick up is welcome or I would drive a small distance for the $30 shipping. I can also have the heli at the Rolla, Missouri FG Huckfest in September for pick up(must pay in advance to hold it) Item is located in Rolla, MO. (central Missouri)

    I prefer Paypal, but a check or money order would be fine. Item doesn't ship until check or money order clears the bank.

    If paying with paypal, include the PP fee in the total or send money as gift to avoid the PP fee.

    Note: this item maybe listed on multiple forums and eBay.

    PM with any questions and for payment address

    Thanks for looking

    This is a sweet Robbe/Schluter Millenium II 60 BNF Setup
    I Will ship but will ask that buyer covers Half of the shipping cost.

    Details:

    Millenium II 60 Heli With Carbon Frames

    650mm Woodie Mainblades, 105mm foam core CF tail blades

    Engine:
    OS Max 61SX-H with remote glow

    Servos
    Collective: Hitec HS 615MG
    Aileron/Elevator: 2x JR NES8101
    Throttle: Spektrum DS-821
    Rudder: Logictech LTS-6100G

    Gyro: Logictech LTG 6100-T

    Regulator: FlightTech 8amp adjustable Voltage Regulator with Failsafe Switch, Dual Battery Inputs, Dual Battery Outputs

    Batteries: 2x Brand new NanoTech Lipos (1500 mah, 35-70c Discharge)

    I will throw in a good reading book "Schluter's RC Helicopter manual" that has great information for newbies as well as not-so new heli pilots!

    For the whole Package I am asking only 400 or best offer

    I have a load of spare parts if needed after the sale that i will sell cheap!

    I also have one of these helicopters setup as a 90 sized machine and it is my "GO TO Flyer" when im in the mood to fly Heli! I can no longer justify keeping this 60 size setup ad im addicted to the 90. This 60 Will make a great Trainer setup or wild 3d setup if set up to do so.

    I can make arrangements to get this machine to a couple of the huckfest events if required to do so or will ship also. Otherwise i can deliver to reasonable distance from Sioux Falls SD

    Id rather sell as a whole than part out as it is a good stable setup, and highly dependable. However i will entertain offers for components etc.

    Thanks!

    P.S. I also Have a scale Bell Fuselage That would fit this machine. It needs a little work but will let it go for the right price. Inquire for pictures.

There aren't too many details about it, but it definitely looks like it fits right into the Goblin family. It looks like there are a lot of similar parts used in the standard Goblin, I wonder if a conversion kit will be available? I have no doubt that we will see these new speed Goblins entering the speed cup at IRCHA this year, it will be very interesting to see how they perform!
