I am building the ECOMRCTigerMoth, this will be my first 1/4 scale Bi Plane.

On examining all the parts in the box I am pleased with the quality of the parts and the covering, all are covered in Pro Film. showing the wing and tail sections.

Now moving onto Fuz

The Cowl is of good quality and matches the colour of the Fuss

The wings show off the ribs as seen on these pics

Hardware packed with all that you require, the Fuel tank comes with a Petrol bung (Not the Norm in many Kits)
All Nuts/Bolts Wire etc.

The Wing Tubes are all Carbon

I have decided to go with the DLE 30cc as I have used one of these and was very happy with it, purchased from Ian at IAD.

Undercarriage and Cockpit Fairings

The Dummy Fuel Tank is very well made and they have spent some time on it to give that realism.

Looks like it's going to make a fine airplane. Keep us posted on the progress. Good luck

Dbp7966

Thanks for that.

Moving onto the wing servos, the mountings have already been done for you so not much to do on there. All fitted very nice.

Looks pretty nice. Is the covering tight? Its hard to tell from the pictures.

Nice looking Tiger Moth!

Dbp7966

Yes the covering is nice and tight on all surfaces.

Great! That is an eye catching color scheme. Be sure and post more pictures when she starts coming together.

Dbp7966

Sure will

Looks OK for an ARTF and could have some 'improvements' made easily if you wished. Where did you buy it from?

Dbp7966

Hi,

I got it from YT Internatinal, heres the link:

They also do Pilots as well.

Dbp7966,


That Moth looks good so far, but there's no way I'd ever use a push nut to hold the aileron linkage to the servo arm. That set up just seem likes it's doomed for failure. Are you going to stay with that method?

Plus one on the last comment!!!!!

Dbp7966

Hi Dan,

I have no issues with this set up, I have used this on many other planes some of large arobatics over many years and have had no issues. But thanks for your comments.

Cheers

Moving onto the wing strut installation. It does not explain too well in instructions but I got them in the correct order.

They are number stamped on the mental ends

nice build DB !! have my own in the pipeline !!

Dbp7966

Moving onto the Rudder set up.

You have to install the push rods first and then install main arm in from the top. Check the holes that have been pre drilled as the outter ones are 3mm and the hardware is for 2mm. I used 3mm linkages instead.

Once in just install the bearing under and then install bolt.

Wouldn't a 1/4 scale Tiger moth have a 103" wingspan?

Full scale Tigge DH82a had a WS of 29' 4" or 352"
So at 1/4 scale I get 88" WS
