H-King Tiger Moth (Cambridge Flying Groups de Havilland DH82a) 1400mm (ARF) Assembley progress

Product link: hobbyking.com/...
This is a beautiful rendition of an old favorite and is based on one of the Cambridge Flying Groups de Havilland DH82a Tiger Moth aircraft. The original aircraft was built in 1944. It comes in the yellow and silver livery of the London Aero Club. This model is made of balsa and can be powered by either glow or electric.
The de Havilland DH.82 Tiger moth was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland in the 1930s. It was operated by the Royal Air Force and many other air forces as a two-seat primary trainer before and during World War II. It has been used all other the world with many examples still flying.
As well as determining the power type this model also requires some assembly as well as fitting of the motor/engine and other electronics. It is recommended to use a 750W electric motor or a .46 2 Stroke or .70 4 Stroke engine. It will require 4 servos for electric or 5 servos for gas setup.
The Tiger Moth is a superb flier and gives a distinguished presence in the air. A must for every hanger.

• Lightweight balsa wood construction
• High quality covering film
• Full cockpit with scale, detailed instrument panel
• Your choice to build it as either Nitro or Electric powered
• High-quality hardware and flying wire is included in the kit
• 4 piece wing for easy transportation

VQ makes great planes, I have a few of them. They really have the best manual for people that never built a ARF before. Good job! Looking good. On all my glow planes, I like to put a drop of med ca on all the screws so the vibration doesn’t back then out. I’ve had servo screws come out to many time for nitro vibration. CA works wonderful.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Impressive tools gentlemen 😁

[@richardtaylor1392]

Nice cowl fit but I think you are going to have to cut a hole in the bottom for cooling. Rule of thumb 3 to 1 one part air in 3 parts air out.

Hi Blaz, what type of servos did you choose (# rudder/elevator, # Ailerons) ?

Wolfgang Rumpel towerpro 996 from hk

[@MultiStinky2]

Looking good, Robert and Blaz. Liking this model a lot, and looking forward to the maiden video. Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but do you think there is enough room at the rear of the cowl for the cooling air to escape?

[@RcAircraft]

Vey Nice this is the one i am waiting to see fly. A proper model with a proper enigine A Saito 72 FA-b , Yes that will be FAB. ;-)

[@dannysimon2320]

Engine cowling looks like needs more holes to exit hot air. Area of exit holes should be greater than area of Inlet holes to prevent engine overheating

Danny Simon yes true...i will do it when engine is broken in...

Are you going to use a nice wooden prop on that baby? Got a selection of woodies coming from Master Airscrew being delivered in a few days.Mine is all finished today and can't wait for the maiden crash or fly!!

[@stevearmett1565]

Captain Blaz that engine fits so perfectly in the cowl it looks like it was made for it !!!! I have just got for Christmas a Seagul Models Vans RV-8 which has a Saito 125a up front I have a few things to finish myself before it is flight worthy. Do you have any tips for running the engine in ?

[@darkofc]

Thanks for the tip ! (used it many times - but these days seems easier to forgot than learn ;-() ) P.S. Blaž - maine is on way (I hope) :-)) And you probably know very well what engine will go in (gaser - it seems that it never was meant to be for SIG Hog..) - by reports from forums on similar/exact model (VQ/Pichler) - little bit more weight on nose won't hurt .. Things I like to know from your first hand experience: - thrust line - hard to tell from video - did you measured right angle thrust ? (no data in manual, except that distance from prop hub to the firewall is 130mm ) (manual says that bulkhead is pre-set in factory and it looks that holes are a bit offset - suggesting there is some right thrust already built in ..) - are those stock supplied engine mounts ? (left one a bit cut off ) Can you tell servos used (what Tower Pro for Ele and Rudd and what for Ailerons ?) Probably will phone you for some more advices - being in foamies so long that even forgot where my switches are - will make 2 separate Eneloop batt. packs .. P.P.S. Please watch this video - about from 3:00 on - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6iwcp97j5d_h8U - if anyone I know can help him with advice it is probably you .. P:P:P:S After all these goodies - a very sad news - SIR Bruce from NZ made this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWOuhKB4rpmfh80 - a word from you can reach very far ..
