Default GWS Tiger Moth 3D

This plane is being 'remaindered" at the LHS.. Apparently it's not been a good seller.
I picked up for $30..
Looked kinda primitive, although the full fuselage from the first Tiger Moths is a good support for the equipment.
Built per instructions.
I'd been told the box flies better.
Must be a really good box, because this is a real 3D airplane!
The first I've had that could fly 3D with the supplied and recommended parts.
It would probably benefit from a brushless inrunner and Lipo, but right now, it's quite a lot of fun.

I had always l;ooked at it and ondered what it would really be like but never seen one in the hobby shop to actually get a good look at one. I know the standard park flyer gws moth flies great though.

Richard, it's lasted longer than all 3 of the GP Flatouts I had.
All I've had to do is put a layer of light fg cloth on the cabanes, which aren't stiff enough all by themselves.

I use an 8x1000 Nimh. Everything else is right out of the box.
Spektrum DX6 radio, 4 HS-55 servos.
