Default RE: What plane(s) would be a good fit for my Nippy?

ORIGINAL: IFlySlowPlanes

Since it's obvious the Nippy Black 1608/160 is not right for my GWS Tiger Moth, it begs the question....what am I going to do with this thing? I bought the motor on an impulse when Hobby Lobby was selling it for $20 (only later did I realize it was because they were discontinuing them!). Is there such a thing as a plane that would suit the Nippy's higher Kv and not-so-great efficiency?

Thanks loads!

First it would help if we had more specs on the motor. size, weight, inrunner, outrunner, etc. I don't find specs for the motor's physical dimmensions.

You need to provide some objectives for the plane:

Thermal Duration sailplane?
Slow fly
Aerobatic
Scale

There are probably 100s of planes that would work with that motor. But what do you want from the plane. Also, why do you feel it would not work with a GWS Tiger Moth?

BTW, that was a steal for $20.
