YAy Tiger II Finished xcept for throttle pushrod which REALLY needs to be fixed.

(Another trip to Hog Heaven Hobbies soon!)

Way to go Yub. I'm sure you learned a lot. I'll bet your next one goes together in no time.

Thanx

But now new problem arises; I need to add a WHOPPING 16 oz of lead to the front to even have it SIT on its trycicle gear!!!

It's not 9 lbs.

Mount the engine first!

Just joking!

I know the Tiger II sometimes just barely rests on the front wheel but something definitely has to be analyzed here. Have you done something to modify the ARF at all. Have you placed the battery receiver etc. as far forward as possible? Are the mains installed properly? Are they bent?

Are you sure your pet hamster or rabbit didn't crawl in the back. 1 POUND?

As per your other thread; something's wrong there David. I'm still thinking your main landing gear is mounted backwards or something. (You didn't mount the servos in the tail did you?)
Dennis-

Nope NO modifications.I think there is a problem. The left main gear is crooked. I mean the two landing gears are wackol

GB sent me two right wings for an Eagle II as replacement once. Two left gear. two right gear??

erm, i dunno

We bent the gear, now it stands, kinda, but is STILL MESSED UP

You're not supposed to bend it

Yub - Can you post a picture of the underside of your plane maybe? I'm assuming you have someone to teach you to fly this. You really need someone to look at it. There is something wrong and I'm sure it's not catastrophic, but we're all guessing at the problem because we can't see what you did. All of us would really like to help you out with whatever is going on with your plane, but we need more info. A photo would be great. I know you said you don't have a digital camera, but do you know somebody who has one? Help us help you!

This plane has been around for a while, so if there were some fundamental problem with it, it would have been fixed or gone off the market.

How`s the CofG when supported at the recommended spot under the wing? If it`s close to balanced when you do that, then it sounds like a landing gear position problem you`re experiencing.

It`s just a suggestion from another beginner and may be wide of the mark. I`m interested to see the outcome.
