Had a fantastic time at the field today! Got a few flights in on my Sbach and my dad got his F6F flying. Im also so stoked because I just received a dynam Tiger moth ready to go including battery! It's such a joy to fly and especially when doing touch and goes. I flew it with a 4s which gave it unlimited power so I think I'll run it on a 3s to lighten it up a little.

Also got in a flight with the Extra 300S with a new 15X8 prop and it seems to really like it. I can tell there is more propwash over the tail feathers . I went from a Zinger wood prop 11X7 to a 11X8 wood prop (forgot the name) and it also has wider blades.

There's one of these for sale near me for $50 and I'm tempted to go pick it up

Its the hobbico one I think. Only downside is I'm not sure how well it would take a 15cc as thats my only available engine lol

Mine is the Hobico from 1996 (date on the box) , I did enlarge the ailerons by an inch and enlarged the holes in the wing where the rods came through to allow more travel to make it roll, originally it was very pathetic but since that was done I really like it.

Same, that os is a perfect little engine for it

Mine is a Great Planes Kit from around 2015 without any modifications from the original plans. I've found that it has plenty of through in its stock configuration but I'm not 3d-ing it, just doing basic patterns, nothing more than
rolling circles and such.

She’s pretty! How was the roll rate with only ailerons on the lower wings on the Tiger Moth? I’ve been looking at either the Dynam Waco or the Tiger Moth.

It's alright, it's not like your doing a lot of aerobatics with it. The Waco flys a lot better than the Tiger moth but in my opinion, the Tiger moth is a neater airplane. One things for sure, the Tiger moth needs a lot of elevator to stop from flipping when taxing! It could be fixed by bending the gear forward but I like the look and challenge of the stock gear.

Maybe I should get both

If you can! They're both really neat airplanes. Warning about the Tiger Moth, you have to work both sticks, a lot!

@BlockerAviation you should sling an edf under one of those wacos and do it up as screaming sasquatch haha

Yeah! I saw him at Oshkosh a few years ago and it was awesome!

I flew this today. Not only that, in the words of David Windestal: "I landed it!".

Well; My No 2 Explorer needs some repair work...... I did THREE LOOPS in a row, and the wing folded in the middle. Don't know if I should just make a new wing (with a center brace) or repair the old one.

Flew my Tiger Moth today, wanted to take a day off of flying my Imac routine. It was really relaxing to do some touch and goes for a while.
