A quick snap inspired by a shot of a real Tiger Moth in a book I got from the library the other day.

Lemme guess...at that moment you heard the engine go quiet?
Bit low for a positive g pullout huh?
Reminds me, time runs out for my Moth trial, off I go.

:blink: Is a Tiger Moth even capable of that in real life???

And what model is that you are flying Paul- is it the new Just Flight one with passenger VC view?

Just Flight one from pilot vc pulled back to near cowling with F1 view.

The real one can barrell roll (and loop) which I was attempting but I suspect I am a bit low! The photo I had is similar but a lot higher altitude - I couldn't be bothered climbing to the required height - anyway I didn't crash and had a succesful point landing.

Cheers

Real Tiger Moths are indeed aerobatics capable, an important consideration for what is, afterall, the first step in training potential Spitfire pilots. :)
