Default RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Just another wonderful morning at Moon Port Modelers RC Club. I was shocked and amazed to find just one lonely senior member there real early….I came at 7:40am and Gerry came around 7:47am so much for the 7:15am sharp he he he…

I came a little late myself since I got up rather early and worked on my nice Tiger stripe painted GWS Tiger Moth with IPS brushed motor/gearbox setup and 2-cell, Li-Polys! I replaced a GWS Pico Servo for the elevator that jammed and adjusted all control surfaces plus epoxied a small coffee stirrer to re-enforce the Elevator halves and placed the battery pack underneath and outside of the model for proper CG balance.

The little Tiger Moth was hand launched and flew for a whopper of 16 minutes and 23 seconds. Gerry and I flew in formation for a few laps around the field and rather low and slow, it was a beautiful site!

Yeap, flew my GWS PT-17 Stearman, and Great Planes Fokker DVII as well!

Left prompty at 8:45am and came to work in time for a weekly 0900 meeting.
