Hi,

It is the NitroPlanes Tiger moth. Wing span 76", weight with the Ryobi ready to fly 13 lbs. 3 oz. Wing loading is 16.7, wing cube loading is a ridiculously low 4.7. It would fly great on a decent 20cc gas engine if you are interested in scale like flight. The airplane came with only the two ailerons on the bottom wing. I added the two ailerons on the top wing for a four aileron ship. (I am not too concerned about "true scale" as long as it flies how I like it....) The Ryobi fits completely within the cowl with no cutting the sides. It balanced fine without ballast using the Ryobi on electronic ignition.

W8YE, I think you "shamed me". I actually got busy and trimmed that grass this afternoon...

P.S. What a shame that Nitro Planes spent all their restocking time and money on "electron" airplanes. I have several of their gassers and really like them AND the price I got them at. But now they are pretty much out of stock of all "interesting" (gasoline capable) airplanes. Then all the magazines write about these days are are those dam n electrics.... Careful guys, I am afraid we are a "dying breed." []
