I was given A framed up 66 inch Tiger Moth A couple of years ago, I'm the fourth owner. It was A primer Balsa kit from the UK, about 20 years old. If it wasn't framed up by A master builder I would have never gotten it built. The blue prints are worse then A road map and the instruction book is thick but I'm not sure what language it was writen in?? It was all done in numbers, glue part B to X type of thing so you had to do A lot of searching, they never used A name for anything.
The plane was so old that the glue had dried out to the point if you touched something it would pop out. CA wouldn't stick so I had to use epoxy to tighten things back down.
Today the plane is A semi scale beauty and flys great with an OS 70 Surpass up front.
I think the old glue was what was keeping the Ca from sticking.
At present I'm building A GP Aeromaster 60 size that is over 10 years old. The plans and instructions are great. The wood is A better grade then any of the newer kits I have seen and the quality is outstanding. I did have to make some changes though but not too many. Hope it flys as good as it looks.
