Honest DW Hobby Tiger Moth RC Plane Review | Build & Flight Test by Captain Rob RC Model Geeks

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

Just a note to add i looked at the plane after and one of the aileron horns had cracked!

[@larryblanks6765]

That's what I thought cheap.

[@ganrlane07]

ARF... "almost ready to f*ck up" 😂😂😂 best abbreviation ever in this hobby!

[@johnparfrey3961]

Nice to see you back and tell it how it is.

[@timtheplaneman]

I'm amazed you flew it in that wind. I still need the stabilizer to enjoy flying mine, and rudder for turning always. Great "honest" review mate!

[@deanedeane4318]

Good job Lads ..... great to see yous keeping bizzy 😉😎

[@erickvillano2069]

Nice to see you back! I enjoy your videos. I have been looking at that model for some time, now I might get one and modify it as you suggested before flying it. will look for your next video to see how the mods worked out. Thanks for posting.

[@jamesmcglinchey2295]

Looked like it was a handful from the onset Rob, you did a great job of keeping it under control. Guess the cracked aileron horn wasn't helping.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

Not sure when the broken horn happened. So may have affected the flight. Let's see what it goes like after a few mods!

[@DadsRCHangar]

That looked hard work, but it was really windy. Be interesting to see what she flys like once you tinker about.

[@johnhorton-g6v]

Just another mod with mine I cut the alerions shorter and taped the cut section down about 35 degrees fixed in place flaps fantastic flyer now takes off fine steeper but easy and flys so much slower, cheers.

[@dirkholthaus2231]

Thanks Rob looks like I’m the only one that wants to see planes built 😂😂😂 Greetings from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺. Love the sarcasm by the way

[@dancingwingshobby5693]

thank you for posting this video Rob,but i have a question about your idea" ridiculous design for the tail servo"? Will you explain to me in detail? Thanks.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

there will be another video with the changes i will make.

[@dannyb.4034]

Nice job in the wind !

[@danesharp6282]

Some good info Rob ... cheers .

[@North49RC]

I bet you put in 9g servos with some pushrod upgrades, you would have a solid biplane

[@uiolkijhgh]

Well done

[@joelfildes5544]

Nice vid,I like the swearing especially,it needs bringing back…keep it up arkid !

[@iflyrcmike]

This is one of my favorite small models. Mine rolls fine, this has to be a setup issue, go higher rates on ailerons and bring the cg foward a bit. I think it flies nicely go figure. Flying a 800mm model isnt going to go great when its as windy as hell.

[@IvanMcDowell-zd7yq]

Really enjoy your videos.

[@belperflyer7419]

You have to use rudder in a Tiger Moth - and/or have at least 50% aileron differential. Well done getting it down in one piece. Pity the undercarriage is nothing like scale.

[@Kingcactus20000]

Yay!

[@Xkite51]

Excellent 😊

[@larryblanks6765]

Your right! Thats why balsa build up is better. The ARFs are supposed to be fit and aligned to the fuselage before shipping from the factorys but, I guess this one doesn't care. Thanks, not buying this one.

[@jteddy11]

Good saving that plane, 90% including me would have put it into the ground. Those servos and servo wire are crap, maybe little hollow straws or tubes around the wire may help, but yes once again good saving her from the fire pit.

[@mikewatkins978]

Great vid, I've watched a few of your other build/fly reviews, This is another DW flying brick, like the Storch. Maybe next time just cut the lower edge of the rudder to clear the elevator, less work and how scale can the plane look with a pair of servo's hanging out of it's ass.

[@leefoster4133]

£230 for that? Seems to be very problematic. If if was me, I would go to Sussex Model Centre and look at RBC Tiger Moth Kit (Short Kit) for £101.66. Granted you would have to get all of the other bobs and bits. But atleast you know it was done properly.

[@nicholaskeech3048]

Love you guys so much as a full six years as an apprentice as a mechanic you capt Rob and mad Colin this u tube video no American will understand 😂

[@darkofc]

👍

[@FlyingBuzzard]

Most all kits now days seem to have to be modified to work correctly . Plus Balsa was once real nice, today it is so thin in kits you buy , also in bulk balsa packages . Quality has declined a lot over the years. But with building experience most all of it can be overcome .

[@johnhorton-g6v]

I put 2.5 gram servos way forward carbon rods with a 370 motor and 500mah 11.1lipo flys great not a floater, cheers.

[@homienat3374]

You git ya flying a small aircraft in high winds what do ya expect 🤔🤔🤔

[@glynpemberton3408]

Bloody expensive for what it is

[@homienat3374]

( there some fink weird with it ) yes the pilot

[@Jimyjones333]

Motor looks tiny for 800mm

[@rafaeltorres2886]

I'm not a fan of DW.😮

[@Buttermilk3696]

Bad language. Don’t let children view this video!!!

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

And that's why this video like all my videos is set to not suitable for children. See ya.

[@Jimyjones333]

Climate change weather is affecting this planes ability to fly well

[@bantampop3532]

[@vulturedroid9804]

What a nasty little plane hehe
