Thunder Tiger 10
« on: January 21, 2015, 04:03:25 PM »
I was cleaning up my workshop and found a Thunder Tiger 10, not sure why I have it.  Mt question is What plane to put it on, what R%%%% length lines and what prop to put on it.  My Grandson is interested in planes and I am not going to  miss this moment of fun with him.

Hi John,
I would put it on a sig akromaster. Its inexpensive and will work fine on 52 foot lines. Jr flite streak would be another choice.
Good luck,
Dan

I would look to Brodak and consider the recently released .15 sized ME-109 or P-40 kit. They are reissues of Matt Kania (yes that Matt Kania) so are probably very similar to Ringmaster Junior in construction. Brodak includes an instruction book with each kit so you could read and follow the instructions with him as he builds the plane (with your assistance of course).
I would choose the P-40. Kids love the Shark Mouth design and it would be a good introduction to a history lesson on the AVG. That TT-10 will be plenty of power-guess on a prop: 8x4 APC maybe? 8)
