Build Log : Carl Goldberg Tiger 2 Low Wing Trainer for 5th Sweepstakes

Mjet · March 18, 2014, 01:14:12 PM

Dear all,

To take my flying skills at some advance level, I decided to build a low wing trainer and i picked the Carl Goldberg Tiger 2.

Wing Span - 61 Inch

Since , the Long Balsa and Air Craft ply is not available , so I am using locally available carpenter ply ( 2.5 mm Apx) to build this model.

I need help and support from all members.

Started the build on 15 Mar Sat, As a first step , only fuse parts were cutted down in last 3 days holiday. Parts were cutted on Zig Saw.

thanks sanjay sir. I found the plan on internet, which i have enlarged. Fuse length is near 55 Inch along with rudder , so to avoid joints and strength, i decide to use carpenter ply.

Some more Pics

as a next step , i removed the ply from formers.

sanjayrai55 · March 18, 2014, 01:48:17 PM

Just keep the weight including engine at less than 2.5 kg

sanjayrai55 · March 18, 2014, 01:49:44 PM

And please make the wing from balsa or your weight will go overboard

Mjet · March 18, 2014, 03:18:18 PM

Yes sir, definitely, rest of construction will be of balsa only.

i will try and ask suggestions from members to keep minimum weight.
