Scale Mick Reeves 1/3 scale Tiger Moth

Really thinking Roto 85 inline. Tony, you have this engine I think?

No I have the boxer. I see they offer two versions of the inline, 180 degree firing and 270 degree. Apparently the 270 degree provides a classic warbird sound.

I forgot about that and need to look into it. I guess the standard (180 degree) inline was for sale last week on GiantScaleNews but gone before I could respond. Off to you tube I go.

Yes I did. I removed my Cub plan and laid a Tiger Moth wing sheet under the glass. Still a long way to go on the Cub but why not, i don't need the Cub plan anymore.

Separated the plans as the rolls are tight and difficult to deal with.

Top wing ribs.

I forgot, I opted out of longer wood due to shipping costs. I need spars, off to aircraft spruce I go......

Interesting project another one that will take some time and a lot of work.

one question are all the ribs balsa or light plywood. It looks plywood but just making sure.

Light ply ribs.

And yes, another 5 year project....... who knows, the Cub short kit had many problems and cost me a couple of years I believe. And I now have many more tools to play with
