Giant R/C Tigre Moth Biplane as flown by John Donovan

John Donovan is founder and owner of Donovan's Hobby and SCUBA center. His wife Betty and Kids Becky and Bill have been Icons in this part of the Midwest for years.
John (now in his 80's) flies his 78" wing spanned Tigre Moth at his annual Club's fun fly.
My hat is off to you John and hope I am doing as well 20 years from now.
Happy Flying.

Yep, it really can jump off the ground with that engine. Thanks.

thats great looking plane,,isn't that a older arf,,love the sound from engine

[NightFlyyer]

No ARF. This is entirely built from Balsa and Silk, is over 30 years old, and built the old fashion way. Thanks for the comments.

I really like the plane but the guy with the camera wasn't the best. You can't always see the plane.
