This was a fun little project built from a Crunchy Nut Cornflakes packet. I got the plans for a micro Tiger Moth from rcgroups.com. I blu-tacked a pound coin to the front to balance it. A quick and easy project.

I later tried launching it from beneath my Tipsy; I set up a release mechanism on the bottom of the larger plane made from a spare servo and a bent paper clip. It connected to a paperclip hook on the top of the Tiger Moth. Sadly the Tipsy didn’t really have enough power to pull both itself and the moth through the air.
