As the gentleman said. A typical landing for a trigger. Nice model.

Hahaha, that was another Mark who said thet, he was also the pilot. It flew great, it was a well built model. 😀

Your welcome, thanks for the comment 😀

Nicely flown and well handled deadstick but what were Hobbyking thinking of with that undercarriage? It looks nothing like a Tiggie U/C.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi, thanks for the comment, appreciated

[@Ouch.]

Who mows your strip....we need him at our club.

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

We are blessed with really commited club member who takes pride in doing a grand job.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Yes we are very lucky

[@dejanzvonar2248]

Nicely done! I am still waiting to maiden mine. Can you please share the CG of your Moth. Did you have to use any additional weight to get the correct CG?

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

CG as per manual (106 to 112mm upper wing) this required additional lead with the engine used) Level flight on half throttle.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks Mark 😀
