de Havilland D.H Tiger Moth - 120
Giant Scale Radio Remote Control RC Bi-Plane ARF RC Bi-Plane "A charming
touring plane that's almost ready to fly."

Derived from the highly successful D.H. 60 Moth series of civilian aircraft that
included the famous Gypsy Moth, the de Havilland D.H. 82A Tiger Moth is the
quintessential British biplane trainer. The Tiger Moth has long been popular
with modelers, and now with our low low price, you can, too, be own a part of
this fascinating history. Our Tiger Moth 120 is a Almost-Ready-to-Fly
model, built with all balsa and plywood. All parts are precovered with our
quality film coating material. IMAA-legal dimensions contribute to its
realistic flight characteristics and enhance the plane's incredible attention to
detail. Whether you're a serious scale aircraft builder or an aspiring r/c sport
flier—or both—you will be thrilled to own and pilot one of the world's most
beautiful plane!

FLYING
Takeoffs for the Tiger Moth 120 are very easy, even in slight
crosswinds, and require very little rudder correction. Scale takeoffs are best
achieved by slowly advancing the throttle and holding a bit of up-elevator as
the model starts to roll. Even with only a lO mph headwind, the model will lift
off within a few feet when you apply full power. Turns require a bit of
coordinated rudder, especially during the climb-out.
The model is capable of amazingly slow flight. Though not
dramatic, deployment of the leading-edge slats enhances slowspeed control. The
Tiger Moth could never be mistaken for a jungmeister, but it is nevertheless
quite capable of many aerobatic maneuvers. Really nice loops, stall turns and
wingovers are all easily within its capability, though its roll performance
leaves something to be desired. Even with differential aileron and the judicious
use of the rudder, an alarmingly slow barrel roll is the best that I can
achieve.

The Tiger Moth was very popular back in the days, and its work has inspired many
replicas of its kind. Now NitroModels is proud to bring you one of the
best radio controlled tiger moth model in the world at 120 size! Have a 4-stroke
engine ready and you, too, can relive a part of history!
