While not very fast or agile, the real-world Tiger Moth’s flight characteristics were very forgiving. Hangar 9 captured those characteristics perfectly with this recreation. The copy was written to underscore this by positioning the model as a relaxing, nostalgic flying experience that everyone from intermediate to expert RC pilots would love.
“The gentle taper of the rudder and elevator, the subtle sweep of the wings, a cockpit open to wind and sky; few planes embody the romance of flight quite like the DeHavilland Tiger Moth. Experience the mystique of this pre-war trainer on a grand scale with the Hanger 9 Tiger Moth 20cc.
Its near-perfect outline and stunning level of detail are enough to make the heart flutter just sitting on the ramp. But the Tiger Moth’s magic truly takes hold when you’re at the controls. Because it uses the same undercambered airfoil that gave the full-scale version its easy-going flight characteristics, you’ll find it one of the most relaxing flying experiences of any size. Even pilots who’ve flown nothing bigger than .60-size sport planes will feel right at home their first time at the sticks.”
