I had the pleasure of working on the original design of the R80 Tiger Moth for FFP in the early 90s. A lot of fond memories working on the drawings and then the 1st prototype. Had not seen that footage of Gene flying. Thank you!
What is t he possibility to do aerobatics in. the R-80? Also, there are some beautiful conversions of Curri Wots (I believe a scaled down tiger moth) to make gorgeous 7/8 scale of a SE5a that had some aerobatic potential... any chance the R-80 could be tweaked to imitate the Currie Wot/SE5A conversion?
A suggestion: All we costumers need REAL FLIGHT TESTS with in-cockpit cameras and outside inflight cameras as well. All we need to feel via the internet what we´ll buy.
The _Tiger Moth_ design is *ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.*
Awesome airplane, but in the future could we have less music and more engine sounds.

Nice to bump into people associated with the aircraft's design. Dave

what's the tiger moth's fuel consumption per hour like (with or without a passenger)?
Awesome
Thanks - Dave

Just posted a FP-404 flight test video. Thanks for the inspiration.
Sure would like to see some more current vids in the R80. Maybe the Celebrity as well.
Love those biplanes!
Working on it. With COVID restrictions I am relying on builders and owners to send me the footage. Dave
