Raptor V2 / Futaba Governor GV-1

[Collin Hart]

Hello again folks,

I have just started building my new Raptor V1 and have noticed that Thunder
Tiger have all ready made provision for fitting GV-1 magnets to Cooling
Fan........ Great idea, saves me drilling out for correct positions.

What I would like to know is, has anybody fitted the GV-1 to their Raptor
and how has the model performed with natural throttle curves, plus using
GV-1 for 3D flying ???

I've fitted one to a pals (Raptor 60 with the TT 70 engine) and it was
(firstly) a simple exercise and (secondly) it was impossible to bog the
motor down after it was run for just 2 tanks. No rotor speed variation
either, which helps ALL types of flying including 3D.

Well worth the time it takes to fit and set up.
