The Seagull "Gispy Moth" is definitely their best kept secret. I have over thirty models in my collection and this Moth is my favourite.

 

I have a pre_Surpass OS 91FS in mine which suits the model to perfection. I usually fly at little more than one third throttle which gives scale like flight performance. C of G is 100mm back from the TOP wing LE at the centre section.

 

I use large aileron and elevator throws and have mixed in a little rudder to help in turns. Landings are best landing on the main wheels adding a blip of throttle to lift the nose upon touchdown. This helps prevent any slight tendency to nose over.

 

This Moth could easily be used to train new pilots. The stall is predictable and gentle. Buy and fly with confidence. It doesn't bite or drop out of the sky at slow speed. This model is a winner. Top job Seagull.
