Default Ready to Maiden tomorrow

All set to go in the am..
I thought I'd have to add weight to the nose but It Balances at front of the CG range so its a little nose heavy.
And I can move the battery back for adjustment.

Everything checked and rechecked. added 40% expo to the ailerons..

I'll take my high wing trainer up for a couple tankfulls to loosen up then I'll take the Tiger 60 up...

Any words of advice?

I was going to ask one of the club instructors to take it up but I think I'll just ask them to stand by me, just in case things get rough...

If everything is set up well and you stay nice and relaxed, the tiger will take good care of you. Very nice job. <div>You will not regret building a tiger, they fly great. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.</div>

Just have fun. Ialways liked my instructor to take up my new planes to trim but those were in the days my knees still shook and I had a wet brow before and after each flight. Ihave one to maiden tomorrow too, it's an after repair maiden though so it should be close. A bit more nose heavy now too.
