Default RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Gman2000 - those are impressive figures!! I see you're in some sort of club there. We have 5 clubs within 20 mile radius but they are predominantly Nitro, very few Leccy[] So most of the leccy guys are Mavericks, using anywhere thats safe and large. The attitude of Nitro guys is that leccy is a Fad and for those that can't build, but you and I know sometimes its the opposite. Because I'm retired I fly 7 days a week (weather permitting) and need at leat 2-3 planes to make an outing interesting - hence I have a range of 8-9 planes.
The Moth - changed the motor back to the small b/less Tower Pro, trying to get it more like yours. Unfortunately the motor details say for 3S, nothing about 2S. Its 120W 900Kv, 3mm shaft, and 65grm. Do you reckon 2S will make it a flyer or not? This motor just seems lacking in power, or am I spoilt cos I fly Strykers and hovering 3D's? Anyway, I'll try the new set-up Thursday.
PPS - the 8 x 6 slow flyer prop - wot shaft thickness have you got? See you later.
