yes, the tiger is a good , but it has many plastic parts, cowling, turtle deck, stuff that the sun beasts up, plus, if u crash it and break the plastic, u r in trouble, cos it will look ugly. The Alpha, I've seen it go down 90 degrees against the ground, WHAM!!. nose down. Nothing, just the engine slided a bit, but the nosewheel didnt break, neither did the fuselage, or the tail. The Aplha's just the bomb, plus u dont have to build anything, just epoxy the wing and tail feathers. Later
