GWS Tigermoth This is the GWS Tigermoth. It is an all foam electric powered biplane based on the real plane of the same name. Wing span is 31.5” with a total wing area of 288 sq. in.. All up weight as built came in at 10.2 oz.. A GWS IPS Dual motor unit with a GWS A gear box, having a ratio of 5.9:1, was used in place of the supplied single motor/gearbox combo. The motor spins a GWS 9x7 prop via a GWS 100 ESC, which has no brake but does have a BEC circuit, which powers the onboard electronics. The plane has a Berg 5 receiver and two GWS Naro+HP/BB servos. These servos put out an amazing 31 oz-in of torque but only weigh .36 oz.. The kit itself is quite complete with the fuselage and wings already pre-painted. Decals, a motor/gearbox and prop are all included. Based on numerous postings at the EZone website, numerous modifications were added to the model. Some of them included: Replacing the GWS plastic struts with a balsa wood set from Todd’s Models, strengthening the outer struts with carbon fiber rods, using a larger diameter landing gear wire, replacing the supplied wheels with 1 11/16” foam wheels, using an Azarr based loaded antenna with the Berg 5 receiver, a carbon fiber rod to reinforce the connection between the elevator halves, adding flying wing wires made from Spectra fishing line and using #48 Wondermagnets to hold the cowl on to the plane. All modifications helped to make the plane a stronger model that was more user friendly. Owner, Rick Hanners. Plane Photos Photo Gallery index.htm
