Yeah, I learned aerobatics on this plane after getting the basics with some trainers. I've since built and flown an Extra 300S (40 size) but the Tiger is still hard to beat for low-hassle fun flying.

If you ever feel like doing the tailwheel conversion, I'd recommend it. It makes the plane look a lot nicer, and so far it looks like it will be one very nice handling taildragger. But it's also nice as a tricycle too...........I like how it lands. Just get speed down to something reasonable and get the plane in the general vicinity of the ground, hehe. It just glues itself to the ground. Looks like the taildragger will be a bit more interesting, but then it's hard to say since I've only got the one flight on it (and I landed way hot, in very windy conditions). It was pretty tolerant of the way I wrestled it to the ground, I must say.

Minnflyer, thanks, it took me a while to come up with that design, and the triangular trim was a pain to apply, but it was worth it. I originally had a classy (but very boring) general-aviation theme planned.......glad I decided on something less conservative.
