Once installed, I used my Du-bro balancer to ensure the fan was balanced with the addition of the magnets. The fit was precise and only a dab of epoxy was required to hold them in place. All I needed to do was to ensure that the magnets were installed with opposite poles facing out. The fan already had two recessed holes in it for the magnets. This involves mounting a pickup sensor on the motor and a pair of magnets to the bottom of the plastic fan. I installed a Futaba GV-1 Governor on the X50. A little plastic was removed to obtain a proper balance. I used a Du-Bro Tru-Spin balancer to balance the fan unit once I installed the GV-1/images/drupals magnets. I wish I had more to say here, but honestly the fit of all the parts was flawless, and as long as you are paying attention to the order of the steps as well as making sure you are using the correct screws, you will have no problem putting this machine together. The process starts off with assembling the head and related components and then moves on to the main frame. Also, the mixture of Chinese text along with English text can be intimidating for someone who has not assembled a heli before.

The assembly manual is based primarily on diagrams and not so much on step-bystep text instructions. I used a JR Head Locking Pin to secure the piston while I tightened the clutch/fan assembly to the crankshaft.

I like to work on a durable white bath towel so I can easily spot even the smallest parts and should I drop one I don/images/drupalt have to worry about it bouncing off to Neverland. All of the linkages from the servos to the bellcranks are push-pull.Д®very assembly step is accompanied by a corresponding bag of parts which are clearly labeled. This is the new all-metal head with the underslung flybar. Mine took me about seven hours, but would have taken less time had I not been stopping to take photos and make notes for the review. First off, providing you have all the electronics and other required components you can easily assemble the Titan X50 in an afternoon. However I will point out some items that I felt were noteworthy.

I am not going to go through a step-by-step build process as that is what the manual is for. Adjustments can be made via the two screws to obtain the proper spacing with the magnets. The Futaba GV-1 Governor/images/drupals sensor is mounted using the engine mounting holes. Not only did this new tail drive promise to offer a more precise tail control, but it aided in speeding up the assembly process as well. The bearingsupported torque tube is outfitted with beefy gears at both ends. The most noteworthy feature of this heli is the new torque tube tail drive system. The parts that were plastic were of very high quality.

The X50 is full of metal parts with the main head and tail rotor assembly having very few plastic parts.

In fact, this might be what a Raptor would look like if you upgraded every part on the machine. As I looked through the kit, I had to do a double take to make sure it was, in fact, a Thunder Tiger heli, as this machine bears no resemblance to the Raptors of the past. Opening the box of the Titan X50, I guess I was expecting some of the same style mechanics that have been synonymous with Thunder Tiger helis of the past.

I have been a fan of Thunder Tiger helicopters for almost 10 years, having owned several Е“RaptorВќ series helis.
