I’m an intermediate pilot looking for a wide flight envelope, easy flying tail dragger. I was considering the RV4 before I stumbled on this. How does the Tiger 30cc stack up against the H9 Van’s RV4? How do the flight characteristics compare? Ease of build? Pos/Cons. Any comments would be appreciated. I’ll be using the DLE35RA.
Has anyone flown both? Which is more forgiving? Are They both constant chord wings?
My thing is touch and goes and landings. Can't get enough of them. LOL

DLE makes a 35RA which will fit in the Tiger. The DLE 30 is side exhaust and does not fit in the tiger.

been a while, but we maidened the Tiger today. Per the manual, I put in close to 3/4 lb of lead in the nose, and most of it came out after a few flights. It was down to 5 oz when we packed up (prop strike) and I suspect a bit more can come out.

It's a bit surprising to read that the manual recommends adding 3/4 lb of weight in the nose to balance the model. I am encouraged however to read that you were able to remove most following couple flights.

Looking forward to further updates with pictures.
