TONI CLARKE 30% TIGER MOTH

A new model soon to appear on the flight line will be a 30% scale 'Tiggy' from the Toni Clarke stable.   Powered by a Zenoah 38cc petrol engine driving a  2.8:1 gear reduction unit, it will swing a 32 x 18" propellor.  Wingspan is 106".

The picture above shows the full size 'Tiggy' upon which this model is based

The radio gear has now been installed and the engine is ready for its first taste of petrol.  Weather permitting, we'll get it fired up very soon.

The airframe has been expertly built over a period of three years by none other than Dave Kellett in Yorkshire.  Finishing touches completed by Phil and John at Fighter Aces.   http://www.fighteraces.co.uk/portfolio/toni-clark-30-tiger-moth-current/

I hope to post more photos and details over the coming weeks and shall look forward to the maiden flight, soon after 'Weston Park' I hope.
