ThunderTiger 120-RP

[Todd Schmidt]

Mark,   had one and soon moved on.  When the engine ran it was strong, but
unfortunately different day, different run.  The pump needs to be cleaned
after every flight session as per TT instructions.  Bearings needed to be
replaced rather quickly also.  Hope this helps.
