I haven't flown a nitro powered model in 20+ years. I had always wanted a Tiger Moth and one came out for sale so grabbed it. Powered by a Laser 100 which have a great reputation for reliability and it's British made.

Successful first flight and looking forward to getting it out again.

Nice, is that a four stroke engine it sounds different than normal ?
Today might be a great and wonderful day. It depends on you.

Different from your usual videos, but nice as usual.

Try flying slow, and turn using ailerons.
Don't be surprised if adverse yaw makes her turn the wrong way!
Sounds utterly different from mine...

Pic on right is wife undergoing training. No buddy box. It was 1980!

I will fly slower. I'm too used to fly flat out EDF jets. I need to calm down. Nice pic Iyer !

Cool, i didn't know there was an engine company called laser engines :o, these look like custom made and competition engines.

Not at all! They have been made for a long time in the UK and a fantastic reputation. Up there with OS and other top manufacturers.

Great model Dominic! Is that an India flag on the tail?

DominicM

If it's the blue, white, red vertical striped flag you are referring to I think that's French.  ;)
