Glad you got it RG, I had it just in case. The TT is an all-time favorite of mine. It was my first .60 sized pattern plane. I just re-maidenedone Tuesday night that was given to me by my original RC instructor. It was scratch built by him sometime in the early 80s (I repainted it with Rustorattle cans so she looks good from 10'!) I replaced the ST Bluehead with a Kraft .61 and replaced the Southern RC retracts with fixed gear. I know, I know; but I wanted to replicate my first Tiger Tail. A bit of right aileron and nose down trim and she rocked out so nice. It was a real hoot seeing it in the air again. The guys at the field couldn't believe how smoothit flew. If you're building one, good luck with the build and post some pics for us!
