Default RE: SEEKING INFO

Anthony,
I agree with Matt. Although I have not flown a Tiger Moth I hear that they are good. I have the Slow Stick and it is very easy to fly. However, my experience with GWS, and from what I hear from others, is that they supply motors that are underpowered. I replaced the 300 that I got with the SlowStick with a 350 and it made a big difference. Also, I recommend beefing up the wing(its very simple) to make it a bit stronger. If you get the SlowStick let me know and I will send you some pictures of what I did or just do a search for some simple mods.

In the mean time here is a link to some discussion on SS mods.

AeroMicro has good prices on the motors(I have no afiliation)

By the way, I bought the GWS J3 Cub and regreted it due to all the mods I had to make. Obviously it flies otherwise it wouldnt be selling, but from what I gather on these forums no-one is flying one in its stock out-of-the-box configuration. I would not recomend it if you are just starting out, but do some research on it before you take only my word for it. I just wanted to let you know my opinion.

If you are interested my comments on the J3 Cub can be found at http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_12...tm.htm#1252259

Hope this helps a little,
Peter
