Hi mike

"...un-scale loops and inverted flight. Even managed a passable roll..." ??? Really? With a Tigger?

I wasn't sure what a Tiger Moth could actually do, being an old fashioned bi-plane and all... BUT it seems there isn't much it can't do!!

Must be Saito powered...

G'day

On another Saito note, I took my little Tiger Moth bi-plane out for an airing yesterday. It has not been out for about 12 months. It is powered by a Saito 40a. It took a little while to get it to start as I think there was some fuel residue in the carby but once running we were into the air. I had forgotten just what a nice quiet, powerful little engine the 40a is. I had a long flight even doing some very un-scale loops and inverted flight. Even managed a passable roll. It was fun on a stick.

Cheers
