Initially, it was a pain to finally notice the receiver tucked into the fuse. Manual makes no mention of this. I then bound it to a Radio Master TX16s MKII using the internal multi module. Servos seem a little weak on the bench. Love the stand!

Didn’t realize that Les less expensive version came without a remote control. I am not a savvy consumer so this slipped past me and my son was disappointed. I think he may have already accidentally broken the tail before even flying it. It seems pretty delicate.

This is a very enjoyable little biplane. I would have given it five stars except for two things. The first is that when I put it into three axis mode the elevator goes full descend and the plane nose dived into the ground breaking a propeller. I was unable to buy one with the yellow Center cap, so I just swapped all that on to another two blade I have and it flew great, just not in three axis mode.The other nitpick I have is that I cannot bind this to my multi-protocol transmitter. I have the RTF version. I bought that before I had a multi protocol transmitter. No one seems to know the correct protocol for the RTF version. If I could find that I could find it to my jumper T-lite. No. It does not use a Futaba protocol.

Flew my Tigermoth a few times, so far. In six access mode it is a pleasure. This is true whether in beginning or expert mode. When I switched to the three access mode the plane nose dived straight into the ground it would not respond to the controls. Broke a propeller in the process. None are available as replacements from motion RC. Fortunately I was able to adapt one from my Sport Cub. Flew fine after that. No damage to the sturdily plane. I believe this is a problem with the gyro rather than with the flying ability of the plane itself.

I was a little nervous it would be difficult to program this airplane to my futaba tx, like many people have spent several hours programming the little helicopters. But this airplane was very easy. You have to take off the wings, four screws on top Wing one on the bottom.The receiver is in the fuselage behind the bottom wing.Pressed the button on the receiver and 3 seconds later it's bound.I set channel 5 and 6 to two 3 position switches to control the gyros and the control throws.I had to reverse the aileron, rudder and elevator servos and that is all I did to get this little plane ready for flight.Unfortunately our miserable weather has prevented a test flight but after viewing all the videos on this little plane we're very confident it will fly well. It's amazingly light and amazingly strong for it size and weight.

This little plane is so much fun to fly I get some air time on some afternoons eventhough it has been in the 40's.
