I have had this Pizzaz hanging for two years with the gear block out. The Super Tigre 90 is from a recently retired Ult. The servos and RX were all just colecting dust. The two elev servo I had to buy but nothing else. The plane took little modification to fit the 90. To save weight and to push the Tigre back. I cut out the factory ply mount. Then installed a round Hays on the fire wall. The elev servos were also moved to the rear in the name of weight/CG. With the batt over the gear the CG is right on. It has 5 flights on it now. It will have the batt moved back before the next one.

It does not fly a lot different that it did with the Saito 72 on it. At least at 1/3 power. Point the nose up though and hang on. I have a few overpowered 3D planes. They have good verticle but nothing like this thing. It never slowes down. It would be out of site in less than a minute. It's also fun to fly along 1/4 throttle and nail it straight and level. You can actually see the plane jump forward.

Also in the name of fun I have a 100% ailivator mix. This means the elev halfs move up and down with the aile.(see pic) This mix does a few strange things. For one since the tail and wing are not in a straight line it will give a little barrel roll. Knife edge is also very interesting. This plane needs a little aile&elev on knife edge to hold it straight. With the mix this makes the plane crab fore and aft in knife edge. Kind of a strange thing to see.
Sorry to ramble but this gets my blood pumping.

I once put a Saito 100 in a 40 sized Extra!!

Great flying airplane!! Full throttle uplines were a little ridiculous though, 1/2 throttle would look good.

Had to land a liitle hot due to the extra weight out in front.

Carlos, You may have me beat. Bring that thing to Elk City next Sept to our fly in. We can do verticle drag racing.


David

wasnt me who did it. i just saw that a while back and this post reminded me of it. i need to start hitting the fly ins again soon.

Please come out. You wont regret it. 3rd Sat in Sept every year. Ask Mike or Flannigan or Greg Ward. We have a good one.

I put a DA 150 on a 20oz. parkflyer once....just for fun.


Not really.

I put a .91 Surpass in a Kyosho Sukhoi once just because I had the engine laying around. I LOVED THAT COMBINATION! It really improved my attitude (at the time) about the Sukhoi airframe. That was one of the best flying planes I have had to date. I just wish they still offered the plane [].
