Default RE: Plans or kit :Tigertail IV??

Wing Manufacturing. Both sets are in the original mfg. cartons with instruction sheets on working with foam, etc. Big wings, eh?

My wife was not happy that I paid what I did for them but I THOUGHT I was buying a matched set of wings to build a bipe. When I opened tha cartons and saw double taperd pattern cores my heart sank. Knowing a little about pattern ships, I figured them to be Curare or Phoenix cores. Then I saw in marker on one of the nests, TigerTail 4. Which brought me to the forums to find out what the heck I had bought.

I'll never get for them what I paid...(the guy saw me comin'). I'm into vintage, biplane and nostalgia at the moment and am wanting a nice bipe or prewar something. I've looked high and low for a Mulligan, Monocoupe 90A or a Reliant.

Would you be willing to trade a "something" for these cores? I can certainly provide a few photos. I couldn't help but notice that you have several "projects" there and "something" interesting-looking hanging from the wall.

Glad you found your bird...looks like a new! I know what searching for a favorite plane can be like...I hunted high and low for an RC Nobler for years before I finally found an original kit last Spring!

Sorry to run on like this...let me know your thoughts.

Regards,
Don
