| Fabio Asti, NS | This is my draem! But how I can find the plans for to build it??
Is there anyone that can help me for to retrive it? I would like to build it with stell tubes fusolages and wood for the wings! Thanks to everyone 02/18/2011 @ 01:46 [ref: 36072] |
| Charles E Taylor Ripley, TN | I should preface my comments by saying that I have not reseached in depth the availability of drawings for the actual Tiger Moth or replicas thereof. My interest is in developing a scaled down version to meet the current FAA Sport Plane criteria and license it under the experimental category. My idea is to power it with a Toyota or Honda (reliability and expense) four cylinder liquid cooled auto engine. Modifications from the original design would be the relocation of the fuel tank from the top wing to either inboard lower wing tanks or one forward of the front cockpit in order to lower the center of gravity. Of course, the leading edge slats on the top wing would have to go. And perhaps a wider stance for the under carriage would be in order to minimize the ground looping tendecy of the original. It would be neat to replicate the original aileron differential mechanism. 01/14/2010 @ 08:24 [ref: 25567] |
