Default RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Yesterdays Flight:
OK about 4 oclock yesterday we hit a wind switch and it went completely calm for about 30 minutes Took the old Pico Moth up to the church parking lot and green area (about half a soccer field in size) It was about 80 degrees and the air was very heavy with humidity. Hadnt flown the old girl since maybe Jan or Feb and that was inside. The air was so thick that when trimed out it just barely crawled across the sky. Never went above maybee 10-15 feet in altitude. On days like this when you hit the conditions just right it really amazes on how great a little aircraft this little job is!!
Mine is stock and I fly with a 700ma Lipo. Put some orange sticky trim pie wedges on the wing and tail surfaces. All up wt is a tad over 7 ounces. This is one plane a manufacture got it right andwill fly great with little or no modifications if flown like the real one does.
My thoughts
