I have been reading about the GWS Tiger Moth here on rcu, and i am wondering if any one has heard of the wings wanting to fold on loops. is there any way to avoid this?

Thanks

some guys add fishing line or dental floss between the two wings to act as extra reinforcement, just like the real bi planes have.

I am building my 7th Tigermoth. It is a great plane!

I use spiderwire fishing line. It doesn't stretch over time. Some of it can.

I put a 1/8 carbon tube in the bottom side of the bottom wing.
Routed out a slot and glued in.
I have a himax 4200-25 6:1gear 11:80 prop and 2100 lipo
with this I go full stick and I can do loops (very tight) with no problem.

That sounds like a TM 400 there. I had one of those. Nice flyer.
