Tiger aerobatics

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.

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?

[Naki]

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.

Cool picture Looks fantastic!

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