Build it, fly it, have fun. Anything up to a .90 works great.

I agree, build it and fly it. I have one that is 18 years old. It's outlasted three engines. I have a Saito 80 in it now and it's still one of my favorite planes to fly.

Clip the wings one bay on each side and put a Satio 100 in. Then hang on. Dennis

I fly mine with a SuperTigre 75. It won't hover, but flies nicely, and has plenty of power if you call on it. I built it as a taildragger, I like it this way...

I have one with a Saito 100 on it. Perfect combination! You'll love this bird! It almost flies itself. Last weekend I was greasing landings in a cross wind with mine while everyone else was hitting everything but the runway. Our Hobby Shop Owner (WHO I BOUGHT THE PLANE FROM) laughed and said "A good tiger will make any pilot look like he knows how to fly). I just stuck my toungue out at him. Even though I've only been flying for 10 months now, I consider myself a decent pilot now! :LOL: But this plane will practically fly itself. It's my favorite plane in my hangar! I've had it for over 5 months now...

In case he doesn't answer you right away, props in the range from 12-7 to 13-6 should be ideal for a sport flying application depending on the size of the plane?

Enjoy,

Jim

I just mentioned in another thread that my Tiger 60 with a Fox .74 Diesel on it is fast becoming my favorite plane due to its graceful, predictable flight. The Fox turns a Graupner three blade at 9,400 so there is plenty of power.

A Tiger 120 with a Composite fuselage and foam wings? It has a Zenoah G23 Glow engine. Belongs to a friend.

Enjoy, Jim
