rbratt: You can download the instruction manual from :

I like to have a 60 size ship for sport flying, so I bought the Tiger 60 kit.

I am very sad! (Awwwww poor baby!)

Why? Because this kit is an abomination! No where even NEAR CG kits of yester-year.

The instruction manual is laced with inaccuracies. The plans are drawn by someone who should NOT be drawing plans. Building directly over the plans proved very cheeky because some parts dont match the plans. The Fit of some structural components is amazingly "off".

One elevator half is as smooth as glass and the other's like Bluto's beard, with an 11 gram difference in weight between the two.Same holds true for the "Block" wood wingtips. The ailerons can go directly to Coney Island for extra parts on their roller coaster.

Friday afternoon kit, Monday morning Kit...whatever. They are slipping, that's for darn sure.

I know what It takes me to earn a buck, and spending money for this type of nonsense ticks me off.

I hope someone steps up to the plate and gives "that" man the respect he deserves! If not...they should pack it in.
