Default Another Happy RCer!

Hello again,


Well, my buddy Gerry has his very rare and super hard to get Grand Wing Servo (GWS) pico Tiger Moth in his hands.

It is my thoughts that this RC park flyer model gets it's true appeal from the scale flight manners of the de Havilland Tiger Moth produced by the de Havilland Aircraft Company - Canada.

The RC model comes with under-cambered wing airfoil and the typical Aerodynamic properties to this type of airfoil produces lots of lift at the cost of airspeed, however, this particular RC model sure does penetrate the wind when commanded. It's under-cambered properties of it's airfoil is perhaps not that dramatic yet provides an excellent Slow Flight abilities.

Another appeal, is the very light wing loading (~ 10 ounces fully flight ready) and allows for very good use of small and super efficient Electric Power Systems (both Brushed and Brushless) using small capacity 2-Cell, (7.4 Volt) Lithium Polymer Battery setups.

It is just too bad that GWS is pretty much gone and this model has been discontinued for several years now.

** Enjoy Gerry!! **
