I definitely dig those Drummonds! There is a woman at the Northeast Philadelphia airfield, that works fairly exclusively on Grumman’s of all varieties. I’ve seen her work on some of those platforms, and I’ve come to love that whole canopy thing. Very nice bird. Fly well!

Very informative and not unnecessary long stretched. Thanx man !

I learnt to fly in a AA1C, and have flown many light aircraft over 37 years. The grumman tiger would have been the nicest of all of them. Cheers from New Zealand.

It is a great adventure owning an Aircraft and maintaining it upto date running condition efficiently.

6:00 whoa whoa whoa, is that a cupholder?!?!? 7:08 You absolutely should love the airplane! I'm a big fan of the tigers. I love how efficient they are. And I'm a bit jealous of that canopy Question you didn't answer: what's the castering nosewheel like? I've heard you can spin in place. I've also heard that the site picture in a grumman takes some time to get used to. Compared to a Cherokee or a 172, I've heard that straight & level feels like a descent because of the site picture. Thanks for the intro to your airplane!

Haha yes, it’s a cup holder! Yes on the site picture, I kept climbing initially! Lol

I thank you as well for sharing your Tiger! As a fellow Tiger owner I can say the castering nosewheel takes some getting used to, as I had only flown Pipers prior to owning the Tiger….and yes, you can spin it in place.

Bought a 1979 Tiger in 1999 and sold in 2006 with about 55 hours total time. Does yours actually have a 'Gulfstream' data plate? Depends on when in 1979 it was built I think. The Lopresti cowl is great - if you get it painted, look to add the red lexan rudder cap too. It will get you another knot or so, believe it or not. Your cruise/climb numbers sound a little low to me - how far from TBO is your engine? Fuel burn is a bit high too - I was burning a solid 10, if not fractionally less, and after rerigging the airplane I could actually get to the 139 book airspeed when it was just a bit cooler than standard day. I also thought that the fold-down feature of the rear seats was amazing - turned my airplane into an SUV! I am virtually certain that someone added that radar altimeter - know mine didn't have one, though it did have an ADF. Same with the strikefinder - I would have the avionics guys pull those if you aren't using them. I fly an RV-7 now, which is even more amazing in the handling department, but only has two seats. Great to see a good rundown on a Tiger, and hoping you guys are able to put in some more TLC, get your autopilot reliable (I love my GFC 500 in IFR) and get the interior done up nice. All the best.

The Grumman Cheetah and Tigers have always been favorites of mine. Do the back seats fold down to make a huge cargo space - as it does on some models? Happy flying.

Yes they do.

we can put two full sized bicycles and you can put sleeping bags and sleep there, perfectly flat.

What about stalls? if you get into a spin is it easy to get out of it?

@AV8OR51 6 ай бұрын

@@joaquinfabrega stalls are benign. Easy to recover from a spin.

@@AV8OR51 Thanks for replying, I am interested in buying a Grumman Tiger but I was not abled to find information about stalls and spins, the only articles I found were about the Grumman Yankee
