Great Planes Tiger Moth - 3/4/2008 2:02:50 PM

Status: offline 		I recently purchased a plane from a friend of mine that he crashed.
The CG was set wrong and the rest is history.
Gary did a pretty good job of putting it back together.
I've actually flown it twice.
The first time the plane acted like it was still tail heavy.
I added a heavy spinner I had and flew it again today.
It was better but it just wanted to climb.

I brought it home and put my incident meter on it and the engine has;


Bottom wing -1.25
Top wing -1.50
Up thrust +10.00
Elevator 0.0

What should the engine thrust be?

Thanks Guys

Status: offline 		You might check Great Planes website they publish a lot of their manuals online so you can get this kind of info or email their customer service is great and they are very helpful. I have had nothing but good luck with these people and I make a point of showing it with my purchases.

There are a couple of time zones between us but that ... well it truely suprised me.
I figured in a day or two, but I want to fly it today.

Here is the answer:

Mine reads as follows.

Bottom wing -1.25
Top wing -1.50
Up thrust +10.00
Elevator 0.0

It should be:

Bottom wing - 0
Top wing -2
Down thrust 2-1/2
Right thrust 0
Stabilizer 0

I have a 25cc Toro on this plane and it is powerful.
Once I reset the incidence it should be real fun and predictable.

I'd upload a picture but it is disabled at this time
