Many thanks Thailazer for your reply and advice. I will definitely keep an eye on the covering of the Tiger 3 even though I've only had it a few months. I'm also thinking about getting the bigger Tiger 60 as I have a brand new ASP 91 fourstroke in a box and I thought that would be a good plane for it. I think you have also the Tiger 60 or maybe I'm wrong? If so, is it as good a flyer as the Tiger 40?
