Here comes the final write up on the saga that has continued since past 8 plus years......
The model was test flown this past Saturday, Oct 12, 2019.
Flying report indicates some more tweaks required to CG/Thrust line. Some scale details are still missing. Both will be attended to in due course.
Enjoy some pictures

Hi there M. I have been busy with my Tiger and trawling through your post, came across this question.
Its too late now but I think these are the drain hole covers, or doublers that are all over the fabric finish. I will try and find a photo.
I have a question though for you, where did you get the Sutton Harnesses from?
Regards

Spike, yes those are the drain grommets. I wanted to put them on and even make drain holes, but ultimately left them off. Only installed on the tail feathers.
Regarding the Sutton harness they're available at

@flyingboxcar,
Absolutely marvellous.
Loved the go around and subsequent greased in landing.

Was this the maiden flight? Can’t remember offhand if you’d flown it earlier.

Did you logs the hours (years?) spent on the build?

Noted the presence of two more Moths and the Eindecker.

Do grace us with your presence on the forum every now and then...

Regards

Iyer saab, thank you!
Maiden was concluded in October 2019. Has had subsequent flights as well. I had changed the radio recently, and although all settings were manually replicated, some trims were required this flight. Idle was one of that. Had to go around, trim the idle lower and then land.
Yes there were two other quarter scale Tiger's, both Hangar 9,and both were flown. Plan was to fly all three together but that did not happen. Maybe some time later.
The red and white is a quarter scale Fokker DVII scratch built by another flyer. Awaits maiden post sorting out the teething troubles.
