Default RE: Tiger 60 Build Thread

Hi
I have also started building the Tiger 60 / retracts . It is my second build , my first was a LT-40 , that I ffinished in dope I flew it for the first time a month ago , and it went great . I have a Saito 56 in it , and with the dope I think it looks fantastic . I loved building it , and when it first flew , it needed very little trim , very stable plane . Very pleased with the build

My Tiger will have only one addition and that has flaps , thats only because I want to learn more about my radio a Futaba 9 CAP . I want to learn more about mixing . The Tiger will also have an oversized engine , an OS 91 Fx , If it ends up too powerful , I will just perchase an OS 60 for it The 60 and 90 are the same dimentions , it s the only reason that I m putting in an OS-91 . I ve already been told that it is overkill . It can always go into another project in the future .

My tail section is already built and I am well into the wing . I have run into some problems . the leading edge of the ailerons are not thick enough . Once you have added the trailing edge sheeting to the wings , the ailerions only measure a little under 1/2 inch , while the trailing edge of the wing is 9/16 . What I have done is added a ply of balsa cross wise to strenthen the aileron and to bring it up to the proper thickness This is were I am at the pressent moment
