Tiger 60
Well finally got er done!!!!!..... I got pics but I need to figure out how to up load them to here. I will do that tuesday night
as I have meetings tonight. It does look good, if I say so myself. It has some flaws but what doesnt!!!
I do know this:
with the trike gear and the battery next to the fuel tank, it is still tail heavy. On Tues I will bal the plane out. run it through a full check list and get everything ship shape for a first flight on Sunday..... I am already nevous! hahahhaa.....(gulp)
Again, a "Big thanks" to all the guys who posted stuff on here to help me and posted stuff about the tiger 60 in general, you make my job much easier!.......... Now to start on the one with retracts!!!!..... yeah....

RE: Tiger 60
Walfam,
Can't wait to see the pictures. About the CG, balance it to the plans. Trust me on this, it is right. All three of mine seemed tail heavy, even after I balanced them. Once you fire up the motor, the perceived tail heavy condition goes away. I believe that the down thrust plays a role.
The plane flys great as designed.
Good luck on your maiden!
Regards
Craig
