Default RE: Thunder tiger 60 Staudacher 300s

I had one of these planes and it was a great flyer with my Magnum .91 on her.
It met it's death though on an engine flameout downwind at about 15 feet agl.(low approach),in a nose up attitude.
What ever you do DO NOT try to turn this plane with a dead stick on downwind it will snap!
Like the other post said parts are hard to get..tried to get a cowl for it and nobody had one not even Stans Fiberglass.
It is kinda pricey too..you can get 540's and 300's in a 60 size for about 50.00 less.
All in all it's a great plane!
Im putting the .91 on a Seagull 540.
