Here's a copy of the flight report I posted on RC Collective.com

Four flights Saturday and another four on Sunday. Would have been more but I had two students on both days.

The TM flies like a dream. Magnum .52 FS with an APC 12x6. The engine had been on another plane so I didn't have to muck with the settings. I set all controls and CG according to the instructions, and they are spot on. They only give one setting so I used those as the high rates and set the low rates at -25%. I made the maiden take off on low rate and about three minutes into the first flight switched to high and haven't been back. Initial trim was about as close as you could ever hope to get, only three clicks of right aileron, that was it.

Take offs and landings are real easy. Easier than my Cub by a long ways. Tracks on the ground nice and straight. The rudder is effective as soon as the tail wheel comes off the ground. I was flying Sunday with a 6 to 8 mph crosswind - no problem. Landings are just as easy, A couple of clicks of throttle and hold a little elevator and it will flair all week long. My first landing was a perfect main wheels, no bounce, grease job.

It looks like a Tiger Moth but doesn't fly like one. It's flies more like a sport plane. Stalls are just a straight ahead mush with no tendency to snap. As soon as you let go of the elevator it starts flying again. All controls are effective right down to it's ridiculously slow stall sped. Loops, rolls, spins, hammerheads, snap rolls are easy to perform and look good. Cuban Eights look especially cool. Surprizingly it will fly inverted with just a little pressure on the elevator, just enough to remind you which way to push the stick. The trim does change with speed, and it ballons a bit when you decelerate from full speed, so I think it needs a little more down thrust. Next time out I'm going to try a one washer shim adjustment.

I received a lot of compliments from the guys at the field. I let a couple of the guys take a turn around the patch just so I could admire her. There is something about a biplane doing aerobatics the just seems so... right. Of course one of it's best tricks is the low, slow fly by with the engine just putting along. That also just looks so...Tiger Moth.

On Saturday I also brought along my Somethin' Extra and only took it up ONE time. That's something that has NEVER happened before! I was having so much fun with the TM, that's all I took out on Sunday. If some one wants to get a first biplane I would have no problem recommending this one. If you can fly a low wing sport plane, you can fly this.

David, in answer your question about the fuel tank; The way the fuse is made you can ONLY mount the engine inverted. But, they did an excellent job engineering the tank location. I've had no problems with the carb filling up while sitting or fuel dripping out the exhaust. The engine starts, idles and runs as well as any side or upright engine plane this size I've ever had. I haven't noticed any change in the engine when flying inverted, such as leaning out, which a lot of other planes do. I always start the plane on it's wheels and it starts on the first bump every time. The only hassle is getting the glow starter on and off from the bottom.
