Default RE: t-hawk or tiger moth

The tiger moth vs the T-Hawk is a pretty wide spread in planes.

The tiger moth is a VERY slow flying plane that bridges indoor and outdoor use. Light breezes of under 5 MPH is all I would suggest.

The T-Hawk is definately an outdoor plane needing a much larger space than the tiger moth. Once you master it, you can fly it in 15 mph winds if you want. It also thermals very well.

If you have the room I would recommend the T-hawk. We have three in our club, 6 Aerobirds and probably 3 Tigermoths.

Also, I would strongly suggest you stretch to the Flash 5 over the flash 4. The 5 will allow you to do split ailerons which can also be flapperons. The 4 can't do that. Go for the 5.
