The Prof's 'Tiggy'
06 November 2020PETER'S TIGER MOTH WAS OUT OF THE HANGAR TODAY AND WE WERE ENTERTAINED WITH SOME LOVELY 'TIGGY' SCALE FLY PASTS
Peter built this model from a D B Sport & Scale kit. It houses an O.S. 52 four stroke up front which makes a really nice sound as it sedately passes by.
The wing span is 58" and together with some beautiful scale detail, it makes his Tiggy a real 'eye catcher'.
The quality of the build is exceptional as you would expect, so we hope Peter will have many enjoyable flights with this, his latest build, down at our Kirkistown flying site.

BBQ 2020
30 August 2020CLUB BBQ - 2020
The weather forecast for the day of our BBQ was not encouraging but none the less ten pilots came to Kirkistown determined to make the most of what the day would offer and to support the event.

Eight pilots sent their planes aloft and enjoyed the somewhat challenging conditions. One pilot hangared
his model as it was deemed too small to be flown in the 18-mph breeze. A wise decision.
It was a lovely warm sunny day at Kirkistown made all the better with the flying, the burgers and the craic.
