is the Tiger really that different?
Errrr, just a bit. The Stampe SV4 corrected all the things that Mr De Hav got wrong.. Fly a Bucker Jungmann and that corrects all the things Jean Stampe got wrong (not a lot!)

The Tiger Moth is good to fly just to remind yourself how aerodynamically bad it really is. Even the windscreens are too small. No wonder the Canadians put a canopy & heater on them..

But what a fantastic trainer the Tiger Moth is. It takes skill to fly it well, but anyone can fly it badly.
