Peter Webster Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi Stephen, The engine does not have any down thrust allowance but there is 2 degrees right. As viewed from the front the engine is shown rotated 15 degrees from horizontal. That is in an approx 10 O clock position. The rotation is about the horizontal / vertical line. The vertical being in the centre and horizontal 76mm above the bottom of the fire wall. I hope this helps. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Webster Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi Stephen, If you need a new cowl the company Carbon Copy produce a good range. Their Galaxy Domino cowl will fit and is very close in design. It is slightly different on the bottom but it is of no importance.

Rod Beasley Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ok it is NOT a super tiger, It is a WOTS WOT biplane and i recognise it as having owned one myself. Easy to fly but a pain for setting the c of g. The downward pitch for this plane is 2-4 degrees off the horrizontal. the Cof G point was 1/3 in from the leading edge of the top wing on my model. Depending on the builder it should be the same on this example. This also looks very much like my old plane that I sold last year to a guy in Gloucester. If so then the C of G point stands. I stuck a 61 engine in it with a 16 x 6 prop and boy did it go. Sold it due to having too many models. Hope this helps with the I>D of the model.

Stephen Jones Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi again, Hopefully the measurements i have taken will make identification more positive .Top wing span = 4` 10"bottom wing span = 3` 11"tail plane = 2` 2"fuselage = 3` 3" from fire wall to rear not including rudder. wings are of built up construction , fin and rudder from solid sheet.fuselage made from sheet sides and bottom , top seems to be ABS plastic . i am sure peter is right as the diagram of the front engine mounting shows the fire wall and fuselage sides edges which seem to be the same , and the fire wall is approx 120mm in hight .

Stephen Jones Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks peter, There's no doubt it's a Super Tiger , thaks to your picture and dimensions . I had to reinforce the fire wall on mine and the fuel proofer is drying as we speak . Hoping to get the radio gear in it tonight and fly it tomorrow . Also hopefully getting two other models ready , a Thing with a OS.25 sf and a Acrowot with RCV .61sp which I also had to reinforce the fire wall .
