Default RE: I found another good airplane

Ah.. the Goldberg ARF syndrome.. (just like the Tiger 120 that needed over a pound of noseweight to reach the CG.. ) I don't quite understand why they can't engineer them so that we don't have to add so much nose weight to them like that. It can't be ALL the problem of wood selection, can it?

The Tiger 120 flys like any other Tiger. They are great in the air and land as smooth as a baby's behind, but I just can't figure why, if they make such a nice flyer, that they can't get the tail weight right. And mine has the OS 1.20 AX on board. A friend built one with the OS 1.60 FX and STILL needed nose weight. Go figure.
