mozart 8,400 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) This is a short video that I recorded with a GoPro attached to my helmet when flying in 2015 over North Dorset/Somerset practising rate 1 turns, gives a small indication of the Tiger Moth experience - so much to concentrate on!

geedubelyer 1,267 Posted January 2, 2017 Cool! Really enjoying the show already Max. I can see I shall need a large note pad to copy your mods. Thoroughly enjoyed the video too. Please feel free to add as many vids and images as you like along the way. Cheers 1 Alain Gadbois reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozart 8,400 Posted January 3, 2017 This makes interesting reading, bit of a shunt between two Tiger Moths one of them being my subject G-AJHS. Both were experienced pilots, one an airline pilot, the other an instructor but this made my eyes pop: 2 mpk and MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaka HI 5,228 Posted January 4, 2017 I'm missing something here, Max...So there's lot's of experience, but a huge discrepancy/magnitude of experience. But one's significantly older. So what's the point? Globs of experience in my experience is not necessarily a good thing...at least that's my experience! 2 mpk and MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what's the point? Globs of experience in my experience is not necessarily a good thing...at least that's my experience! Globs of crass stupidity I'd say Shaka! It could so easily have been a fatal accident instead of just damage to fabric and wood! 3 Shaka HI, MARU5137 and mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaka HI 5,228 Posted January 4, 2017 I agree with the stupidity, but who was stupid or does that even matter, given the amount of experience in either pilot? Anyway...long day...need some shut eye... 1 mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozart 8,400 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) I've been doing more work on the Tiffy but while waiting for paint to fully cure I've completed the bits comprising the empennage: Next I'll be moving on to this area: The little dio that I'm planning will have the baggage cover open ready for the couple going off for the weekend to stow their luggage, but there's also a small correction to be made to the kit on the aft edge of the rear cockpit: where towards the top of the diagonal edge there should be a right-angled corner, visible in the shot above of the Moth under restoration. There's another small but important mod. in that area too but I'll explain that when I come onto it. I've also changed my mind about which Tiger Moth I'm going to finish it as, it's now this one: operated by Scottish Aviation then latterly 12 EFTS. Full history: G-ADVZ DH.82A Tiger Moth 3443 G-ADVZ BB796 G-ADVZ LN-BDL Scottish College of Aviation Ltd/Prestwick 09.12.35 6425 Impressed 12.10.40 restored 28.5.54 Sold Norway 9.54 Max Edited January 5, 2017 by mozart 8 Alain Gadbois, BradG, rafju and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Out2gtcha 31,648 Posted January 5, 2017 Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Is that orange, or red? 2 mozart and mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozart 8,400 Posted January 5, 2017 It's an orange fuselage Brian with silver wings with the registration letters in orange, though I might take a few liberties and, for instance foil the nose section - that was one of the points that attracted me to G-AJHS. The detraction from AJHS was the ugly anti-spin strakes, they completely spoil the Tiger's beautiful lines and were only fitted originally in the 1930s when they experimented with fitting bomb racks!!! 3 mpk, MARU5137 and Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
