The Tiger design likes a bit of tail-ward CG and it ends up being a real ***** cat. Looking forward to your first flight report! How close are you?

That gear point design problem has been around a long time. I have built about 7 Tigers of various sizes now and all of them needed the gear bent back. It actually ends up being a good confirmation of where the CG needs to be!
That sounds great the Tiger likes a bit of tail-ward cg. Im hoping that if all goes well with the weather i will have the maiden flight in two weeks time. I will definitely send you a flight report on how it all went. Many thanks.
