Default GP Tiger Moth

I have one. Looks great . Always draws a crowd. I started with a Saito .91 in mine and although that's what GP recommends it was simply not enough power to overcome the drag of the wings. I had to run it virtually wot. Any slight wind made it worse. Also the plane with the .91 was EXTREMELY tail heavy. I had to add 12 oz to the nose which didn't help things. So what to do? I swithed the .91 for an OS 1.20 with a 16 x 6 APC prop. That gave me the power I needed and I got useful instead of dead weight. She'll do beautiful loops, touch and goes and fly bys. Put a pilot with a little scarve and wave. Rolls are SLOW and painful. You can eat a sandwich before she'll roll. BUT she is a lot of fun on those days that you want to take a leisurely stroll and not get to crazy. Good luck
