I had a Tiger2 ARF, before it was used to trim some tree tops <grin>....

Yes, the throttle linkage was on the wrong side. I just drilled a new hole in the former in the middle to make a progressive slope to the top of the fuselage.

Other mod's : 1) I put 1/4-20 socket sleeves into the wing hold downs and used nylon bolts. I had to enlarge the holes in the wing too. The 10-20 metal bolts on another plane at the field wore out after a few times and "rough" landings.

I used taildragger landing gear right from the start. Easier to setup (linkage) and easier to fly too (more prop clearance).

I flew with a OS .46AX with a 11x6 prop. Good T/O performance, holds vertical for a few seconds, but no hover <grin>. Using a 12.25x3.75 prop had more vertical, but still no hover (too heavy).

After the first flight, I increased the throws higher than the recommended high rate. Rudder I used -15% expo on low rate for T/O, helped smooth the P-Factor pull to the right.

Great plane, I miss it, but now I'm flying a 78" Sukhoi with a Moki 1.8 <really big grin>
