Default RE: Thunder Tiger Bipe 40 Opinions

Just returned from the flying field and four flights on my Tiger Bipe. Only had two previous trim flights on it. We are only 100 above sea level here, and my T-bipe flys very scale with an OS 25LA. Take off is about 85 feet from out grass field, with minor rudder correction for engine torque. With a little power on, landing on the mains is smooth, and touch & go is simply a matter of smooth power up. Balanced and trimmed according to the instructions she is mild and predictable, smooth moderate loops and nice slow rolls. Most of the flight is at near half throttle. With a mild 40, I believe the vertical would be greatly improved, and definitely the loops could be enlarged.

As a comparsion, I almost enjoyed the T-Bipe as I did in the several flights with my FuntanaS (Magnum 60 4cycle).
