RE: Weston UK Tigershark
That plane is not new... it was their "fast plane" before the Magnum was released...
My guess is they started production again because of "popular demand"...
The original Tigershark was a flat balsa plate wing design... I wonder if they did anything to improve that...

RE: Weston UK Tigershark
Hey guys,
I've flown the predecessor. At first with Webra 50 GT, then with a 61 Webra speed w. pipe (had to cut the nose though...). It flies like it is on rails. It's fun to fly but by no means faster than the magnum (which I havn't flown yet ;-( ). Might be a good choice for a first "speed" plane. It is fun to see how much aerodynamics affect top speed. My Me-163 with the same webra 61 goes WAY faster than the Tigershark.
Hope this helps.

RE: Weston UK Tigershark
been around a long long time.
recently making a come back.
very very quick, and with a west 50 magnum setup, probably faster than a magnum.
still a flat sheet wing

RE: Weston UK Tigershark
faster carters? read the site, Magnum is at 200, the Tigershark is 150
it's just a throw back to a VERY! popular plane. CPLR and Corbin to name but two happy owners.
