Title: My first de Havilland Tiger Moth Post by: DominicM on August 13, 2020, 09:22:19 PM I haven't flown a nitro powered model in 20+ years. I had always wanted a Tiger Moth and one came out for sale so grabbed it. Powered by a Laser 100 which have a great reputation for reliability and it's British made.
Successful first flight and looking forward to getting it out again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ijEMtE65hU Title: Re: My first de Havilland Tiger Moth Post by: sahilkit on August 13, 2020, 10:12:20 PM Nice, is that a four stroke engine it sounds different than normal ?

Try flying slow, and turn using ailerons. Don’t be surprised if adverse yaw makes her turn the wrong way! Sounds utterly different from mine... Pic on right is wife undergoing training. No buddy box. It was 1980! Regards Iyer Title: Re: My first de Havilland Tiger Moth Post by: DominicM on August 14, 2020, 12:32:40 AM I will fly slower. I'm too used to fly flat out EDF jets. I need to calm down. Nice pic Iyer !

They have been made for a long time in the UK and a fantastic reputation. Up there with OS and other top manufacturers.

Title: Re: My first de Havilland Tiger Moth Post by: DominicM on August 17, 2020, 08:19:25 PM If it's the blue, white, red vertical striped flag you are referring to I think that's French. ;)
