As you gain experience you will come to love the Tiger. Notice that it sits slightly "nose down." Not sure if this contributes, but the World T34 also sits like this...and both planes land and simply stick-no bounce at all. You'll get used to the speed, and it should fly well at slower speeds as well...maybe half throttle. It will do a slow roll with almost no tendency to drop the nose...even when you aren't using anything but the ailerons. And in terms of strength it will take a lot of hard landings. Wire landing gear on the wings are always a bit suspect to me...but the Tiger's are supported well structurally and just simply stay put even with less than perfect landings.

Have fun. I think it is one of the best low wing trainers I know of
