Hi Guys

At still bad weather at Hungary  About I can't do third test fly with new modifications. New idea, I change at first fly used "Kavan D: 45mm" gears to "Kavan D: 50mm". It about better start and take off from bigger grass. I hope that tomorrow I can test it. See new arrivals at HK. Arrived bigger balsa Tiger Moth!!! It look very nice. Badly that price a bit high, and flying weight is approx 1800g. Good news, that it we can order from EU. warehouse. 

Best regards.

Kapitany

	Hi Guys At Friday, weather at Hungary let me performing my third Test Fly with TigerMoth. At our new airport was medium cross wing We need wait some time, than say, I need do it at now. First trouble was with take-off about bigger grass. Changed gears wasn't enough big for it. Finally found little better place where can take-off. My friend do smart video about my passions Today I put it on Youtube: "http://youtu.be/Kx4t3NFL8d8" Sorry for video format. I put video in 16:9 format. Youtube resize it to 4:5. Conclusion, my changed motor at still haven't enough power for this plane. Next idea change it to: Turnigy Park450 Brushless Outrunner 1200kv. I hope, that it resolve power problem at this plane.

	Hi Snappy Your TigerMoth was in air? If you fly with it, please write for us your experiences about, please! Do you make any modifications at this plane? This plane arrived to HK. and put on sale with a lot of "bugs". I think we need help for novices, about correct reparations and building for enjoy this plane! Best regards. Kapitany

	Hi Snappy At this time, you are "an very happy sandboy". Your ordered plane was building with different series servos. From which warehouse you order it? I believe you, but you can believe me too. At some of ordered planes from HK. I need change servos about wrong default positioning!!!. (Cessna Corvalis, ASK-21, etc.) Cheers. Kapitany.

	Hi Guys Sorry for long silence. I have no time for my hobby. Finally I change motor in my Tigermoth. New motor is Turnigy Park450. It have some bigger power than factories default. Little bug with this motor about mounting screws. We need two 3mm. and two 2,5mm screws for mounting it to motor wall. At now it ready to fly testing. Unfortunately, weather at Hungary is very interesting with high wind. I hope that at this weekend can do my new test fly. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Best regards. Kapitany
