The instructions online are pretty bad, so I thought I'd post a questions or two. I am thinking about getting the nitromodels tiger moth 120 arf, and I want to know how much of a pain it will be to set up at the field. Are the wings in four sections or are the panels of the upper and lower wings meant to be glued together? Also, are the flying wires functional? Is this a plane that I can pull of the wings to transport, or does it pretty much need to be left assembled?

Also, I read in another post that the pacific aeromodels instructions were much better, but they do not appear to be on their site any longer. Does anyong have a copy of the pdf?

Thanks for the input,

Pete

I don't have the moth, but I do have others from them.

1 - Yes the flying wires are meant to be functional. You can use metal clevis links at the junctions to make them easy to put on and off.

2 - I dislike taking the wings on and off on my biplanes. It is too much hassle and the screws are too easy to loose. So I only take the wings off for maintenance and haul my planes out with a trailer or van. If you don't have the space consider a smaller biplane or a monowinged plane.

3 - Yes they can be dissassembled for transport, but see 2.

I have the Moth, ST 2000 for power, I use wing nut's/bolt's for all the strut hookup's, Wing nut go much faster, I don't use wire's, Too much drag, I only have 2 flight's but it's very nice, USE RUDDER when turning.
