Description

The tiger attack helicopter from RC Aerodyne is a whopping 65" long which is just a massive 1/8th scale fuselage kit.

This modern attack helicopter is now available in a scale form.

The new Torque Tube tail design allows for extreme reliability and no service needed installs.
The kit includes the tail drive gear box that allows the raised tail system to work effortlessly.

This kit was designed for ease of installation. All wood formers are all ready installed at the factory. All you need to do is prepare your Trex or Chaos torque tube drive helicopter for the install.

Specially designed scale side frames are included which do two things.
1. Lower the transmission in the mechanics for ease of install.
2. Keep the mechanics in the rear for a scale cockpit ( sold separately )

Kit also includes tail linkage rod for the rudder, and all necessary mounting hardware.

Basically two ways to go about setting up this fuselage.

1. Keeping the stock two blade rotor head.
If you choose to make this simple and quick by not changing the rotor head, there are no modifications needed to the esc or motor. You can still use the 6s battery pack but we suggest for longer flight times to maybe go with two smaller packs such as 6S 3500 or 4000 mah. 1 6S 5000 mah battery will probably give you about 5-6 min max flight time.
If you double up with two 6S packs, you can obtain flight times of 8-10 min depending on mah.

2. Multiblade Rotorhead Setup
OK so everyone wants to know the best way to power your mechanics if you choose to fly with a 4 blade rotorhead.
For the best efficiency, high voltage is the way to go. Increasing your voltage will decrease your amps and give you longer flight time, and also less heat generated, because your motor is not working as hard.
Lets remember though, that when you increase voltage, your rpms increase. So it is also suggested to find a lower kv motor.
Multiblade rotorheads will fly much better with a lower rpm. How low? Typically it is not a good idea to exceed 1500 rpms. This is quite a drastic change from what you have been used to with just the two blade rotorhead spinning around 2000 to 2100 rpms.
But remember, you have all that extra lift from adding two more blades.
So lets talk some numbers:

Batteries:
12S set up typically uses anywhere from two 6S 3300 mah to 6S 5000 mah.
This is really the most efficient way to go and will give you longer than needed flight times.

Motor:
A 12S set up would need a motor in the range of 500 to 560KV
We use either Hyperion or Scorpion 4035-500 motors

ESC:
Any esc that can handle up to 12S.

This kit is truly a beautiful representation of the real modern attack helicopter. With all the new features to allow super easy install, we highly suggest making this your next scale project!

Note * The kit comes painted in olive drab green.

Additional Information
History Origins In 1984, the French and West German governments issued a requirement for an advanced multi-role battlefield helicopter. A joint venture consisting of Aérospatiale and MBB was subsequently chosen as the preferred supplier. Due to high costs, the program was cancelled in 1986, but was relaunched during 1987. Subsequently, in November 1989, Eurocopter received a contract to build five prototypes. Three were to be unarmed testbeds and the other two armed prototypes: one for the French escort helicopter variant and the other for the German anti-tank variant. The first prototype first flew in April 1991. When Aérospatiale and MBB, among others, merged in 1992 to form the Eurocopter Group, the Tiger program was transferred as well. Serial production of the Tiger began in March 2002 and the first flight of the first production Tiger HAP for the French Army took place in March 2003. The delivery of the first of the eighty helicopters ordered by the French took place in September 2003. At the end of 2003, deliveries began of the 80 UHT version combat support helicopters ordered by Germany to the Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement. Due to technical problems, operational capability is not expected to be achieved before the end of 2012 at the latest. Exports In December 2001, Eurocopter was awarded the contract for the Australian Army's "AIR 87 requirement", which was for 22 helicopters of the Tiger ARH (Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter) version. The first Tiger ARH was scheduled to enter service in 2004. 18 of the 22 aircraft will be assembled at the Brisbane facility of Australian Aerospace, the local Eurocopter subsidiary in Australia. However, because of delays in attaining operational capability, Australia's Defence Materiel Organisation had to stop payment for the helicopters on 1 July 2007. By 2008 the main issues had been addressed and payments resumed. However, in October 2010 it was revealed that the helicopters will not be fully operational for another two years. In September 2003, Spain selected a variant of the Tiger HAP combat support helicopter – the Tiger HAD – for its army. The 24 helicopters of this type that have been ordered will be armed with the PARS 3 LR and Mistral missile systems. They will also have an uprated Enhanced MTR390 engine and so be able to lift a heavier payload. Deliveries are scheduled for 2007–2008. France opted to upgrade most of its HAP Helicopter to HAD; so the HAC-Variant will never be built. In June 2006, the Rafael Spike-ER was selected by the Spanish Army to be the ATGM of the Spanish HAD, instead of the previously announced Trigat missile system. In July 2006, the Saudi government signed a contract to purchase a total of 142 helicopters, including 12 Tiger attack helicopters. However the deal later fell through. Equally, although it was originally reported that the Tiger would be competing with Kamov Ka-50, and Mil Mi-28 for the order of 22 attack helicopters by Indian Air Force, the Tiger was later withdrawn from the competition. In late-2009 it was revealed that the Tiger was undergoing upgrades and as such was not able to participate in the Indian field trials. By June 2006, 28 production Tigers were flying, including 18 aircraft delivered to their customers of 4 countries. These 28 aircraft had logged about 4,000 flight hours together. Design The body of the Tiger is made from 80% carbon fiber reinforced polymer and kevlar, 11% aluminium, and 6% titanium. The rotors are made from fiber-plastic able to withstand combat damage and bird strikes. Protection against lightning and electromagnetic pulse is ensured by embedded copper/bronze grid and copper bonding foil. While the Tiger has a conventional helicopter gunship configuration of the two crew sitting in tandem, it is somewhat unusual in that the pilot is in the front seat and the gunner is in the back, unlike all other current attack helicopters. The seats are offset to opposite sides of the centerline to improve the view forward for the gunner in the back. Crews coming to the Tiger from other platforms require additional training because the additional capabilities bring a higher workload. Protection The Tiger's armor can withstand 23 mm autocannon fire. The helicopter includes the AN/AAR-60 MILDS System developed by EADS DE. It includes radar warning, laser warning, and a missile launch/approach detector systems and is connected to a central processing unit from Thales and a SAPHIR-M chaff/flare dispenser from MBDA. The Tiger's visual, radar, infrared, sound signatures have been minimized. Navigation/Communications The navigation system contains two Thales Avionique three-axis ring laser gyro units, two magnetometers, two air data computers, BAE Systems Canada CMA 2012 four-beam Doppler radar, radio altimeter, global positioning system, and a suite of low air speed sensors and sensors for terrain-following. Datalinks systems are Link 4A, Thales Proprietary PR4G, and STANAG 5066. Its radios are HF, MF, VHF, UHF, military SATCOM, and GPS receiver. Engines The Tiger is powered by two MTU Turbomeca Rolls-Royce MTR390 turboshaft engines. Operational History On 26 July 2009, three French Tiger HAP helicopters of the 5th Helicopter Regiment arrived at Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan. This is the first active deployment of the Eurocopter Tiger in a war zone. The helicopters were to perform armed reconnaissance and fire support missions to aid the effort of coalition ground troops in quelling the growing Taliban insurgency. The Tigers had their operational certification in Afghanistan in early August 2009. Until July 2010, three Tigers have totalled 1,000 hours of operation. During a night mission on 4 February 2011 a French Tiger crashed about 30 miles east of Kabul, both pilots were lightly injured. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe announced on 23 May 2011 that the French ship Tonnerre amphibious assault helicopter carrier with attack helicopters aboard would be deployed to the Libyan coast to enforce UN resolution 1973. On 4 June 2011 French Tiger and British Apache helicopters were used for the first time against targets within Libya. Source: Wikipedia (02/07/2012)
