Thanks for the words of encouragement Mike. I dont have the nose anymore, but the previous owner does have another Arrow Tiger that I can borrow to get all the measurements etc off so at least that should help somewhat.

Thanks for the tips on covering the holes in the wing. At this stage I might just patch the win skin under the hole and hopefully the covering will make the hole not visible.

I have never covered a plane so I will have to get someone at the club to help with that.

I was talking to one of the other guys at the field and he mentioned that the Arrow Tiger needs a .60 sized engine to perform but surely he is mistaken? He may have been referring to the Piper Tomahawk I have.

As far as I knew the Arrow Tiger was ideally suited to a .40 sized engine such as the .46 AX I have. No big deal as I have to buy a .61 for the Tomahawk so can swap the engine over whenever I want to fly either model. Or save and get two engines.
