Chris Bott - Moderator Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 That's a nice looking build CS, what colour scheme are you planning? PS - It would look much nicer without that great lump of metal sticking out of the nose (PPS - Before anyone over reacts to that last comment, it's a little joke, 'cos CS comments on soooo many electric threads ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concorde Speedbird Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 He he, I can take what I give so no problems! She will be white with red bits, like a stripe down the sides and sunbursts on the top wing and red control surfaces. Same colour as Dad's two Jesters (38" and scaled up 45" which had long and faithful lives and flew brilliantly. In fact, the undercarriage on the Domino is the one that was on the 45" span Jester, so it is about 25 years old! Here is the OS 70 close up... The OS is very big for this plane (Dad says 'manly'!) but I think it looks better with it, makes it look more interesting in my eye (and it will sound fantastic!). If you did want to hide the engine you could use the plastic cowl in the kit which is larger with cheeks and a smaller crank cased engine like a Saito 62 or a two stroke. Or you could use washing machine power (sorry, all in good spirits!) The Jester will have an OS 25 FSR two stroke (the same engine that was on Dad's original Jester, re-living the past I am!), at 90 degrees again probably.

Rich too Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Great thread, I've got a 50" Veron Tiger Moth in the loft that I built nearly 30 years ago - it needs a cowl, does anyone know of any suppliers? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi Michael, The Wik Tiger plans are available as a free download from HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Valentin Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Oh crap ... Now im just not sure anymore... The Wik Tiger is all wood it seems, but my model has a upper body half, that is molded in plastic. I would appriciate all the help regarding the model. I have pictures of my model, and can mail who ever wants to give it a try on "naming that model" . Im interested in facts/ info , because the model is not finished. instead of using this fine thread..... Please contact me on the mail above. And I will send pictures.

Tom Wright 2 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just love this posted by BBC . It reminds me of a biplane I designed built and flew back in the 80s.Which through a series of developments turned into the one in the video that is in production today. Tom.

Michael Valentin Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I cant wait for someone to contact me....so here we go..is this a WIK Tiger ? It sure as he.. look like the Tiger, but the molded plastic part on the upper body half...? Please comment on this, and let me know. Im sure I can finish the airplane with the plans on the Tiger, since they look like each other. Here is the plane I found : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Certainly looks very similar, Michael. Why not P.M. Jeff2Wings to ask whether the Super Tiger has the plastic upper deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff2Wings to ask whether the Super Tiger has the plastic upper deck? I am used to another forum, and on that you click on the avatar, to PM a member. Wenn I did that, Jeff2Wings profile was not public. I just now see that you can message a member, right under the post, sorry for that. In the meen time, I have found answers on a German forum, that states that the Tiger , was all wood, but the Super Tiger had the plastic upper part. So the answer to my own question is, it is a WIK Super Tiger.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymaz Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looking great. May I say don't forget to lateral balance with the engine lump sticking out one side, but I expect you've done that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concorde Speedbird Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks, there is a thread for it too. As for lateral balance, there isn't any weight on the port tip currently. We have had 80 four strokes out the side of Wot 4s and it was fine, so I'll ask Dad if it is necessary. I don't really want to have a bit of lead stuck on the wing tip, so we'll probably fly it first and see if it needs anything. Bipe no 2 (Jester) engine has arrived, a new Saito 40a, it is an absolute gem, beautiful. CS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
