Default RE: WestonUK Tiger-Shark assembly

I bought one of these planes and also found that the covering looked like moles were living under it.
Beware of overheating when tightening the covering - underneath it is NOT lite-ply, it is in fact ordinary planks glued together at the edges.
This plane will warp if you look at it, make sure that you park it in the shadows or you may end up with combined dihedral and anhedral plus convex/concave wings !!
This one will really tax your radio mixing - I had to mix a lot of roll into elevator (different rates for each wing) to stop it skewing when trying to loop.
After a year I finally killed it last week - and good riddance. The one saving grace is that it was as tough as old boots, so I only brought it out on windy days when I didn't want to break a real model.[>:]
