I'm interested in getting my first Biplane.
I'd like something small that goes in the car without taking the wing(s) off and something slow, smooth and relaxing to fly.


Maybe the Pacific Aeromodel Tiger Moth 30 ARF would fit the bill?
Can someone please share some thoughts on this plane?

...I was thinking to match it with a Magnum .30 fourstroke engine and standard servos if possible?

My friend has the 120 Pacific Aeromodel Tiger Moth, very nice airplane, I have not seen it fly.

I have a Kyosho(SP?) 40 Tiger Moth, another friend has a Great Planes Tiger Moth 60, they both fly the same, slow and easy. The Tiger Moth isn't what you'd call an acrobatic plane, it does loop, spins and rolls, but it's two best things are slow flight and my favorite wingovers.

I'm not looking for aerobatic.
I have some other planes for the adrenaline and "turn n' burn" flying, I'm looking for something that flies very slowly and fits in my small car assembled.
A small, scale bipe was something I came to think of.

That Kyosho Moth looks great, do you like it? (Perhaps a .52 fourstroke would be good for it? Standard size servos?)
Does it come in the olive drab military colour as well?

...I guess there are many nice bipes out there, but the key here is:
- Slow flyer for relaxing cruising
- Fit assembled in my VW Golf hatchback
- Fourstroke powered


ps. I have the GP Ultimate40 kt, but it's not built yet and it's definately not the kind of cruiser I'm looking for

> That Kyosho Moth looks great, do you like it?




Yes, love it.




> (Perhaps a .52 fourstroke would be good for it?


That's what is in mine, perfect match. I Don't know about other colors, mine is yellow.


>Standard size servos?)


Yes.

On eBay now, they look good.

Thanks for your replies Soarrich, I think I like the PA 30 size in military colours better, but I'll definately look into the Kyosho one as well.
Living in Europe, Kyosho is easy to find.

Gotta measure the space in my car and count the coins, then maybe I can get a bipe too
