Default RE: Phoenix Tiger Moth .40

Awesome plane, realy happy with it.

I have moved the CG back, and it has improved the flight behavior a lot. When it was nose heavy, its too directional, and wont bring the tail around in turns unless ou give alot of rudder.
Moving the CG aft, makes it fly much smoother, and no need for rudder to make it look nice.

I also moved the front wire of the landing gear further forward......this pulled the wheels further forward, so it does not nose any more.
I glued in a ply plate to support the wire.

I installed a brass tube at the landing gear, and hooked it yp to the oil vent line from the saito.
There is a massive flow of oil out of this vent line, and moving it away from the plane realy keeps the plane clean.


Awesome plane, flys very docile with no bad habbits.
