    Tiger Moth Shoot-Up #4



    Fight for a chance to get your name engraved into the Moth Cup.



    March 2nd, ( That's a Saturday! ) come join us for another Tiger Moth Shoot up!!

    Starting at 21:00 GMT [16:00 EST]


    CUSTOM SKINS!
    Winners of the Moth events have a custom badge for their planes;

    So if you would like to come and just watch from a spawned in plane, mark down "Spectator" and come see the action first hand over head.



    Event Itinerary

    - Everyone try and get on TS 15-20 min before start

    - @2100GMT we will walk through the start up of the Tiger Moth (can be tricky for some) (5-10min)

    - Everyone taxi to their starting spots (5min)

    - Run 1vs1 (16 fight's @ 3-5min each) (50-70min)

    - Take off at the same time (head to head, or together) then turn and fight to the death over the airfield.

    - Team Match! (15-30 min+) If there is enough interest we'll try some 2v2 or 3v3!

    - Free-For-All, for the remaining time.(Open to all if we get more than 16) (15-30 min+)



    Please comment below if you wish to attend, and identify if you wish to be a pilot or spectator.

    Should we let him win this one?

    Will shooting Buzz down delay 5.0?

    Pending on the time for this next event, I'll try to get some of the pilots knocked out paired up again to provide a break for those that would have otherwise had a back to back pairing.
    Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

    I love these old videos



    If you guys like we could set a day and do some air combat maneuvering training.

    We can start off practicing loops, rolls, and snap rolls. If time we can try some more.

    Re: Tiger Moth Shoot-Up #4

    Above video is of Fairchild PT-19 trainer used as primary trainer with the USAAC.

    Engine more powerful by approx. 70 hp, (200 vs 135) and approx. 30 mph faster than the Tiger Moth, but not as maneuverable.

    My favourite primary trainer was the De Havilland Chipmunk... designed in Canada.



    It used the identical engine as the Tiger Moth, but was a low wing monoplane with a stressed skin all aluminum construction... managed to be as fast as the Fairchild with a lot less hp.

    Also very maneuverable... nearly as good as the Tiger Moth. Used by the RAF as a trainer right up to 1996.

    If I ever was able to afford an aircraft, this would be on my list of go to types.

    Fully acrobatic, and a ton of fun to fly.

    TM Shoot Out 1 - was first up against Yo. He got some *flukey - lucky* shots on me on the first pass and I spun out and crashed. Had a blast as a spectator.

    TM Shoot Out 2 - just spectated. Mrs. Snapper wanted to know what I was laughing at - she could hear me from two floors down in my Rec Room/The Swamp.

    TM Shoot Out 3 - had to work that day. On a Saturday, no less!!!!

    TM Shoot Out 4 - gonna try to make it this time.

    Spectators can also be airborne as long as they don't interfere with fights.

    I would rather not have people flying around when the fights are going on.

    It's enough just getting everyone lined up on time.

    Sorry, I should have clarified.

    The ‘spectator’ box was meant to localize ground spectators and participants. The ‘airborne’ comment was meant towards pilots who just want to watch to battle.

    That’s why I made Buzz that bright plane, so we wouldn’t mistake him for enemy.lol

    Anyways, you guys are in charge of this, the map is just a suggestion.


    Cheers
