heavy Tiger 60
Hi all;
I have a Tiger 60 ARF that I've been flying for awhile. I started it out with a Saito 82 and had to add a lot of nose weight to balance. I swapped out the Saito for an OS 61FX and could remove some weight. It still seems to "feel" heavy when flying. If I cut back on the throttle, it starts to mush. I had a Tiger 2, (40 size), some time ago, built from a kit and that plane was much more lively. Will putting a 75 in help or is heavy, heavy?
Am I expecting too much from a 60 size plane? I've moved up to the larger size to help me see them and I'm thinking of getting into giant with gas. I'm not getting any younger!
Thanks!

RE: heavy Tiger 60
The Tiger 60 ARF is much heavier than the kit version. They must have used heavier wood because the cutouts and lightening holes are the same. We have a member with both the kit and Arf verion. He flied the Kit with an OS 61 and the Arf with a YS 63 4S.
