@ Mark:
It sure was not the cheapest plane i bought - but definetely one of the best if not the best !
The Kit cost´s in Germany with German tax Euro 3700,- without the exhaust pipe and the Scale Nozzels, they will cost another Euro 350,-

@SNJ
What do you mean, sorry my english is not as good , so can´t understand your question !?

@Dave
Yeah that would be great, i try to do some kind ob build thread with a lot of pictures !!
Probably start this week !?
Dave go ahead with your twin - i definetely can recommend the kit quality. And Peter is a great guy to deal with[sm=thumbup.gif]

@Volkan
thats good, which F20 do you get ?

@Enrique
I think so too, she is pretty prefabricated !
Mine took about 4 weeks to deliver, i´m not sure about the waitlist - just give Peter a call or if you want i can ask him for you !?

Any questions ? Feel free to ask !!

Warm Regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas...

Its probably just the picture angle that makes it look strange .......

Alpenglider

Hi SJN !

Ok, now i understand. It just looks that way because the wood Blocks are not glued on perfectly symetrical - i just checked ! But the axis of the pivot tubes are perfectly alligned .

Thomas

Thats`s great Thomas

Which engine are you going to power it with ?

Congrats Thomas,

This is a fine bird that you'll love. Always respect speed, power and pitch attitude. Although not the original builder, there are several modifications which I have made to mine which proved to be very solid, I am not sure if they are now being included in the kits, but I would be more than happy to share them with you if you wish.

Good Luck and many happy flights to you!

Bryce

Hi Folks

As the Patrouille-Suisse flies the F-5 already since several years at events all over Europe,
see some pictures of the "small" Swiss PS Team, who flies the Liebetrau F-5 in the same great colors.

Thomas,
That thing is beutifull. In October 1996 I was on the observation deck of the Jungfrau when 2 of these came gliding silently past below me down the glasier all the way down turning right down into the valley. Man I wanted one then! It was awesome to see that shape in that beutifull setting.

@ SJN
I will power this Tiger with the New Merlin Turbine ! This should give me more then enough power !

@ Nightwalker alias Bryce
Thanks for your reply, i have a small Video i have found on the Net of you flying this Beauty. This Video sure helped me to spend the Money for this Kit ;-)).
I would be more then thankful for all kinds of advicses you could give me on building this Baby, even i have have build a lot of planes in my live - i´m alwys ready to learn something new !

@Flying Arrow
You can buye this Tiger in Germany by a company called "Jet-Team-Liebetrau", i sure can recommend Peter, he does a great job producing this Kit and some others - have a look on his site: www.jet-team-liebetrau.de !! If you have any problems - please wright me and i try to help !

@Andre
This must have been a great experience ! Have a look when the Tiger will be finished !

Here is a Pic how i´m ( or better how my good Friend Ralle Schneider ) is going to paint this Beauty !

Hi Thomas!

Beautiful plane! I´m eagerly awaiting to see your plane in life action!. Saw Haralds F-5 in Punitz, a really impressive ship, amazing.

Kommst du zum Meeting nach Wörgl?

Gruß
Thomas

Alpenglider

Hi Thomas !

Thanks for your reply, i certainly will try to come to Wörgl, but sure will not be ready with the Tiger ! I will bring brobably my Top Spin Turbine Trainer or maybe a Draken - We will see !

Will you be ready with su SU 27 ?

Sincerely

Thomas

specialFX

Something would have to go terribly wrong if the Su wouldn´t be finished till then. It´s my first jet, so I will keep it on the simpler side. It looks to be an awful amount of work yet, but after the vertical stabs I´m working on at the moment, the basic airframe is completed. Then it´s up to gearing it up and taking care about the landing gear.
If I don´t get absolutely crazy on finishing her, she should fly in april, worst case may.
She must be kept simple, otherwise I´ll get a heart attack while flying her, even on maidening her[sm=bananahead.gif]

Thomas

Alpenglider

Hi Thomas !

I can understand you to good, maiden a new Airplane always get me close to an heart attack [sm=bananahead.gif]

But thats the thrill we get addicted too, or not !?

BTW. your build thread is great, i always keep an eye on it ! Keep going like that ok

Cheers

Hello Thomas,

I have not forgotten about you my friend, I have taken some pictures and will email these to you shortly. I am currently finishing the biggest upgrade to this jet to date, which is the installation of the Artes Rhino/Merlin turbine in the F-5. Time for a serious thrust increase, no more playing the energy/throttle management game, and best of all no more throttle lag! A few friends over right now just lounging and flying parkflyers out under the streetlights. I know I am not alone when I say "we are all anxious to meet all of you from around the world!" Its nice to have the internet these days and this forum to share thoughts, ideas and pictures. I will send you some of my recommendations soon.

Regards,

Bryce
