i would be afraid of flying that plane...what if the engine stops running while flying?

Incredible! That engine on that plane, particularly with those engine sounds...wow!

It glides beautifully. Never a problem however as the engine is very reliable and rarely stops.

No, I flew it for many flights like this. I did use on board glow and had the glow switched on up to about 1/3 throttle. I used 10% nitro. The on board glow made starting very easy.
I have since sold the Tiger Moth and still have the engine. It is for sale.

Nice sounding engine! I have a Pegasus 240 but havent run it yet. It's an antique now and still brand new!

I got it to fly and I fly it a lot. I am not a collector, but It will still look as good on the shelf when I finally finish flying the old moth.

@tommywatson1942 Well I actually bought it at an r/c flea market years ago and have been building a Sig Morrisey Bravo to put it in, but now I'm getting cold feet since they no longer make it. I planned on using it back then but had some time away from the hobby and now trying to finish the Bravo...Have a 50cc gas engine for it instead.
