Default Dymond 52" Tiger Moth Build Thread

I decided to build the Dymond Model Sports 52” Tiger Moth and since I could not find much on it in the forums, I will document the build.

I will be using the following in the plane:

• 3 Hitec HS 325HB on Thro, Elev, Rud
• 2 Hitec HS 81 Aile
• Futba 168RX
• Saito .56 12x8 prop
• 10 oz Sullivan slant fuel tank – I did not like the way the stock one fit.
• Covering replacement can use Monokote True Red 0227 and Aluminum 0205

I started the build by using 30 min epoxy to coat the inside of the radio and fuel tank compartment. Then I installed the Throt, Elev, and Rud servos. I replaced the push rods with carbon fiber and used a Sullivan .56 push cable for the throttle.
