SSD I will second Shortstripper. Of the around 70 different light airplanes I have flown I am quite confident in saying it is the worst handling aircraft of the lot.

I think that for everybody who dares speak the truth, that the Tiger Moth flying qualities are terrible, it has marginal performance for the amount of power it has, is horribly uncomfortable to sit in, and has an engine that barely passes muster when used as a boat anchor; there are 10 who have drunk the coolaid and think it is wonderful.

So sorry for providing a little balance......

It is hard to believe that the same company that produced such a Shyte handling machine could go on and design and build the Chippy, one of the nicest flying light aircraft ever built.....Oh wait it wasn't you Brits that designed the Chippy it was a Canadian.....
