Dw tiger moth plane for a cox engine
Well once again I have a crazy idea that went through my head Since I saw this model I can't stop thinking about it Far from perfect for a conversion but I see a lot of potential in this model first its a super scale model second ting is its flying weight Which is also very similar to a motorized model with a cox engine of similar size and it use a 7x3 prop So close enough to a cox powerplant Since I have a little boy it's hard to build from nothing I can no longer leave the parts to dry immobile for hours to come back later finish the plane and make one at once is Somting impossible wit a artf its Perfect I can assemble a little bit then put back in the box Come back when I have time the more I think about this model the more I think it would be a perfect model for me I wanted to share this idea with you al to know what you think about it Do you think this would be a good subject for an experiment?

You know how much I like this model of biplane especially for its ability To fly like dancing in the sky Sometimes a sweet and calm model but capable of surprising and of great elegance and maneuverability in the air is al we need A bit expensive but should I do it!? Who else but me thinks it would be doable? I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea. Gang

Re: Dw tiger moth plane for a cox engine
Do it David, I have always had a soft spot for the Tiger Moth and would like to see what you come up with. We share a love of Bipes.
Me too, just this morning I got an idea for one of my spare Wen Mac P-39/63's while reading Air Classics magazine that I will be telling about in the near future.

Re: Dw tiger moth plane for a cox engine
I tink of use a new killer bee that i Will instal a rc ring or a tee dee .051 wit tuned pipe modification
According to me, I could arrive at an equal weight, maybe even less It all depends on the materials I could use To make it work The easiest way would be to do something similar to my foam models I know that its possible a .049 should be enough power To lift this up Good
