I was flying my giant Tiger the other day when the vertical stabilizer started to flutter. Long story short, the VS snapped off and was dangling by the control rods, then it just started coming...

Got a chance to go flying twice in the last 3 days! It was great to get to go out this time of year. Those days are far and few between from the first of the year through about mid-July around here...

Just throwing this out there - Valley View sells a 20 and a low-profile 21 gas engine that is absolutely wonderful. I have one in a P-40 and it is rock solid. $199 unless you catch it on sale. ...

That's a great looking plane, Leroy. I really like the look of the landing gear.

I've got a few pictures of mine. It's kinda rough being that I beat it around, rebuilt it and beat it around some more. But you can get the idea. I thought about lengthening the nose on this plane...

You're right about bigger flying better. The only thing you lose is the quickness. It doesn't snap around corners, but it sure flies like it's on rails. I fly mine with a 30cc if you build a 100"...

If your going to enlarge the plans to 80" from the Tiger 60 plans, you might as well just get the Tiger 120. There wouldn't be enough difference to justify the effort.

Yes. I don't remember the wingspan of the 60 size, but the regular Tiger 2 is about 52". 80 divided by 52 is 1.538. so increase the size of the regular plans by 1.538 and you should be close. ...
