Tiger 2 by Carl Goldberg

Hi Everyone!

November is here and having flown my last flights for the season, I am happy to share with you all my build log of my next airplane: The Tiger 2 by Carl Goldberg.

Quick background: I tend to be a little "old school" in my interests with RC-flying because I originally learned to fly back in the mid-80s. Back then, the airplanes I learned to adore were the airplanes with long-tail moments, dorsal fins, the classic precision aerobatic airplanes. The Tiger 2 fits my list of a pattern aerobatic trainer and old school nostalgia perfectly. There will be some modifications I will integrate to this project.

Last night I framed up the fin and rudder. My first modification: an increase to the rudder area. With a slightly wider rudder, I am looking forward to better rudder authority for knife edge flights, while minimizing any drag effects from too large surfaces.

So far so good, will post my next log the next weekend. Catch you all later!
