Hi George,
Mine flies pretty well! I did alter a few things, such as replacing the landing gear, and swapping the motor to a Park 400 outrunner. When I fly the Tigers back-to-back, I have to remember to keep the 400 in close, as it is easy to lose in the sky!
What changes are you planning for yours?

Jeff,
I haven't decided what I might change. I had thought about the gear as the field I fly from is a bit rough in places. I had also thought about changing to an outrunner as you did, but I haven't been doing electric long enough to really know what would be a good power package for it. I had heard the stock package was a bit anemic.
I have just begun assembly the last few days, so if you have some suggestions, I'm all ears!
I really have enjoyed all of the Tigers I have flown. I have owned probably 5 or six in various sizes...probably the two most enjoyable were an original Sky Tiger with a clipped wing (2 bays each panel) and a piped Enya 60, and the other was a Jr. Tiger (original .25 size) with a piped OS .40 FSR on it...both were HOT, but were excellent flyers!
I anticipate the Tiger 400 being a bit more sedate, but hopefully just as fun!

Hi George,
On mine, I use an E-Flite Park 400, 920kV motor, a 1900 or 2100maH battery, and a GWS 9 x 4.7 prop. I don't recall the ESC. The landing gear is regular dural gear that I lightened up a bunch. I put all Hi-Tec HS-55 servos in the plane. I also put a swiveling tail wheel on it, but the skid might be even better.
I must say this thing scoots along pretty well! It's amazing how closely it's flight matches both my Tiger II and the Tiger 60.
