Default RE: GWS Pico TIGER MOTH - Flight Report

Congrats MrGMan2000 - nice work!! Its good to hear someone get it right the first time (maiden). I'll check out your pics of landing gear cos the standard one is rubbish. Basically, it comes down to your prevailing flying conditions. In Scotland its windy, bloody windy, so you need a plane to "punch" through it and maintain control. Thats why I went the slightly different route of 3S with a punchy b/less Tower Pro. Its not wot I wanted but wots the point of a light plane on 2S when you live in a wind tunnel called Glasgow!![][] Started the motor today and I swear it was ALMOST hovering in the living room (wife went berserk!!) - now that would be something, a TMoth that can hover and go vert like my Strykers. I do have a problem though - do you put in any thrust angle on the motor? I always do, tip of shaft slightly higher (a few degrees) on tractor mode planes. Now I've been told it should be the other way - who's right? I'll send some piccys in a minute.
