After owning many fast Sport Models and heavy Glow-to-Electric projects, I finally broke down and decided on a Slow and Scale model. A co-worker and friend was selling a built-up GWS Pico Tiger Moth from someone that could not RC fly anymore and as soon as I saw it I was hooked.
The looks is just half the story because once it took off this early morning in DEAD CALM conditions here in Orlando, Florida the model is just a delight to fly and it actually flys slower than my Slow Stick! Once in the air this little
9 1/8 oz. fully loaded GWS Pico TIGER MOTH flew with such scale manners that I could bring her in super close to Gerry as he took several nice in-flight pictures and I was able to thread the model inbetween us as it passed by at least 2 MPH speed!
This model takes the Award for being Super Slow!
As much as I like super fast Sport Models, this Pico Tiger Moth is a keeper with the IPS power system and swinging the GWS "Slow Flyer" 9 X 7 propeller using the Kokam 1025mAH, 2-Cell, 7.4 Volt, 8C, Li-POLYs. I used the GWS Pico Standard servos.
It looked great in the air, just a wonderful day of "Close-to-Home" Flying!
