A T.U.F. VIEW
The open cockpit R-80 Tiger Moth is a real throw back to the old days of open cockpit flying. By taking advantage of light strong wood construction Fisher Flying has made it possible to replicate and improve on a well proven design. 

Performance on the R-80 is exceptional, it takes off in less than 300 feet and climbs out at 800 feet per minute using the Norton Rotary 100 HP engine (which I have had some reports on reliability and service). Cruise is an honest 90 m.p.h.. stall speed 40. Ground handling is a little tough since the pilot flies solo from the rear seat and visibility is limited.
