What can I put my GWS gear in?
I had a GWS tiger moth that bit the dust, actually, my wife accidently dropped a large heavy book on it and squashed it beyond repair. Now I find myself with a perfectly good set of gear from this plane and a couple of batteries. What can I buy/build (not opposed to scratch building either) using the stock motor/gearbox/prop and GWS micro esc/ rx and servos that will give me better performance (more aerobatic) than my tiger moth?
maybe aileron/elevator instead of rudder/elevator would be better? Any suggestions? Like I said i'm not opposed to scratching a plane if the right idea comes along. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!!

Here's a couple of suggestions. I've seen both of these in action and they are excellent:
GWS Slow Stick. Great flier. I have one on order through my LHS. Should be in next week. I am considering modifying it for ailerons. Costs less than the Tiger Moth (about $35) and comes with motor and prop. The pilots in my club are using GWS 5 amp speed controls and 8 cell NiMH packs.
Wattage Crazy Max. Awesome aerobatic performance. I have a Mini-Max, which flies good, but the Crazy Max is far more aerobatic. Runs around $50 and also comes with motor and prop. I think it needs a 15 amp speed control.

Lite-edisk
I picked up a kit at a swap meet this weekend called the Lite E-disk. It looks a bit like an IFO and uses all the stock GWS gear. They have info and videos at hoverbatics.com

I think you'd like the C180 from mountain models www.mountainmodels.com it's a quick build... and very fun R/E model.
If you are a pretty good stick and are up for some excietement you could always throw that gear in a 1:12 Cap 232 www.stevensaero.com - You can use the all the gear and gearbox from you tigermoth you'll just want to drop in a replacement 4.8v motor instead of the stock 7.2
