RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
so that would give you the chance to set it up the way you like it. be careful with the fuel tank Height. if it is too high it could siphon and go rich all the time.
with four strokes the sweet spot it to get the middle of the tank in line or slightly lower than the height of the needle valve, or centerline of the carb.

I think you will have a riot with a Tiger 60 with a DLE 20 on it. makes me want to build another.
I will post some build pics in a minute for you.

DLE20 should be here in a couple more days, got it from www.valleyviewrc.com comes with mount, engine kill, switch and charge jack for $249 and free freight, nice little package I think. I can't do much without it as I need to see how much frontal changes I will do to accomodate it and larger fuel tank, also ignition and another battery.
I'm thinking 2 piece wing and joiner tube as done on larger sport and IMAC planes and expansion of vertical stab. for better knife edge control. Also like the idea of a removable upper cockpit and deck section to access servos and reciever and such. I'm going to have fun building this baby.
May not get started on the actual build till after Thanksgiving but will be gathering supplies in the mean time. Leroy PS, how do I get my number and signature to show, thanks

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
I also own a Tiger 2 40 size ARF with a Magnum XLS 46. It flies well with it, but I am wondering what your thoughts are on putting a Magnum 91 4 stroke. I read that one of you tore the firewall out of an ARF with a Saito 125, so I am wondering if it will be wise to put the Magnum 91 4 stroke. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

I got a feeling that it has been done several times with no problem. It pay's to go through these two threads and see what others have done with their 40 size planes
Good luck with it and have fun.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
"Hot dog", DLE20 just showed up, that kinda got the blood moving. Plans for Tiger are rolled up trying to straighten them out. Gota get the shop in order now, starting to itch a little. How many others have one of these to build or on the table. Would be more fun if 2 or3 of us were doing it together
Yeah!.

Well what's the hold up, they are going for $139 at Tower, I don't think that is out of line for this size plane. I just examined the kit a little more closely, wood quality is good and lazer cut parts just fall out. Dont think much of the hardware kit, looks like 40 size stuff so will up grade most of it and won't need any of the gear parts. I have most of the wood I'll need for the changes I have in mind. I read this whole thread twice as well as another plus some sport plane builds to use for direction I'm going with the Tiger.

please be careful the section of the fuse
the fuse is know to be weak at the front and rear of the wing saddle. this is even more weak with the ARF. so if you remove the top of the fuse be sure to add back some structure to make up for this.

I think you should do it right away. the amount of fun i have with the Saito 125 in the Tiger 2 ARF is tremendous.
Perhaps the .91 would be the perfect size to have tremendous power and light weight. to balance the 1.25 on the Tiger2 i added 1/2 oz of lead at the rear of the H. STab.

"Boy you are right about weeknesses in the body", I saw that right off when I seen the plans, then I seen the actual fuse. pannels. I have a 12'X60" 1/8" ply pannel already so we'll take care of that right off. Any way there are going to be some other changes in the fuse. I want to invert the engine and raise it up for more ground clearance for prop. I'll post what I'm doing as soon as I start doing it, may intrest some others thinking of useing the DLE20.
When is black friday, day after Thanksgiving is'nt it ? I will be working on the plans, my changes will be in red and I hope they will show well so you all can see what I'm doing. I also am going with outboard ailerons so will have wing work to do also. I said this was going to be a bashed fun build for me but it will not change the profile much at all.
Stay tuned, more to come

Leroy.. What size prop will you put on the DLE20? Ground clearance might be a problem, but with that power you won't be spending much time on the runway! Any snow in the hills above CDA yet?

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
Thank you jkr_1100
Question for experienced builders only:
The strip ailerons on the Tiger 60 have approx. total of 45 sq. in. area, I'm moving them out board and the figured new size would be 3" wide and 15" long to have the same area as the strip. QUESTION, can the width be reduced and how much, I do not want to alter the performance in what I'm doing. I do not know what the difference of air flow is across the whole wing half verses the outer 17 inches and am I going about it in the right way. I know some of you have done this.
Don't worry about the required work involved, I can handle it with no problem. Thank you.

Hi Toivo, will be good to have you here, judging from what I found you are a very experienced RC man. Thanks for the assurance in what I'm doing, avionics is not one of my strong points. I run on logic and commen sence but that does'nt always work in some cases. Are you building this Tiger also or just along for the ride, I hope this thread gets active pretty soon, should be fun.

Leroy... Your Tiger with the DLE20 will be an interesting build so I hope you can upload some photos. If you go back a few pages on this thread you can see my Tiger 2 with a 35AX. Haven't flown it for about six months as the runway is not good enough here for it yet. Hoping to get it ship shape by the new year. Here's a video I did for some friends in Scandinavia that were flying off ice two years ago. Just had to rub it in!

Those plans have copyright protection and no one will copy them, at least their not suppose to. I tried that once at Kinkos and they said they could'nt do it for stated reason.
