Discussion GWS Tiger Moth 400 problem

[docrob]

Has anyone recently made the GWS Tiger Moth 400? And have you had problems with the aileron control rods?

I just got 3 TM400 kits and I've made 2 of them, both for friends, mine is still in the box. During the build I found that if you cut the ailerons as per the grooves in the foam, your aileron control rods fall short. You have to push the rods out of the slot almost to the point where they will abut against the fuselage when it gets screwed on. It's a dicey situation. I talked to cometravi about it, he's flying the same plane and he said he didn't have that problem, but all 3 of my kits have short aileron control rods.

Have any of you had similar problems? I'll post pictures of where I have my rods set tomorrow.

Hi Ray,

With reference to our discussions on PM's these are the Slow Stick parts I need for my float mounting.

I would also like to use this platform to commend GWS on their remarkable customer service, even in countries where they have no official presence yet.
Keep it up GWS, you have a loyal fan base here.

Hi, I am an aeromodeller based in India, Lucknow. I wish to know the correct motor/prop combination in order to upgrade TM-400 to Brushless flight.

I used carbon rods and rapped the end hooks in thread at the ends the epoxied the thread.
Here is some aileron flight video
