Default RE: Tiger 60 Build Thread

freddy_s, sweet looking plane!! How much does she weigh? Have you flown her yet? If so, how' does she fly?

m_skaggs, Cool beans on the rolls!! I actually used Realflight and set my camera into follow mode and kept going back and forth until I worked out my roll timing. It's really neat to see a plane rolling across the sky and then realize it's yours!!

As for the taildragger. I used the same size wheels as recommended when I built mine as a tail dragger. Actually, come to think of it, that was the gear that started on my Tiger II. You do need to get the mains in front of the CG, though. I used fiberglass struts bolted into the fuselage, right in front of the wing. (Just make sure you reinforce the floor first!)
