Tiger_Moth nice to see somebody taking the commonsense approach to hour building

As AerBabe says, read the Pilot article and visit the Tiger Club website.

As I understand it, not having flown one myself,

1. 60-65 knots
2. No
3. Light & nicely co-ordinated
4. 1 1/2 hours or so??
5. Not compulsory but recommended and around 500 quid per annum
6. 2.5 - 3 gph at around 4.50 / gallon
7. Anything up to 250 quid a month depending on location
8. There's a spot in Rush Green (Luton) for less than 7. above
9. Routine maintenance depends if you do it yourself. The Annual inspection will cost you a minimum of 500.
10. Lots.
11. If it's a Cessna 150 yes a Turbulent no but I would imagine (I don't know the specific aircraft) that it would be solid but not necessarily a concours d'elegance winner for the price

PS If you're over 6' tall expect to get bugs in your teeth!!!
