Hi Mike.

Well, it flys great, typical Tiger. As you may have read, (maybe you have not, but I've posted it in a few different places here on RCU) the only heartburn I had with it is that it took over a pound of noseweight (lead strips) in the nose to make the CG. A friend has one with an OS 1.60 FX and he needed quite a bit of noseweight to make the CG. Mine has the OS 1.20 AX and needed more wieght.

It's a solid plane, I did not use the tail braces to hold the vert/hor stabs in place, they do just fine as they are, and this would have added even more tail weight which would have needed more nose weight.. so I just left the hardware off. And at about a 1 - 4 ratio (1 ounce in the rear needs 4 ounces up front to counter), I didn't need any more up there.

But, as I said, it flys great. Very deliberate, and straight, I must add. It's fun to fly, by the way. Very much a Tiger, if you've flown any of the other Goldberg Tigers (Tiger II and Tiger 60) which I have. When I did my first aileron roll with it, well, I was sort of used to a roll rate of perhaps 2 seconds. Well, a normal roll rate with this big guy is more like 6 seconds. Slow and deliberate.. and straight!!

It lands like a very large, powered kite.. "floats like a butterfly".

Dick.
