As much as I hate Facebook, I recommend joining a few of the groups for Grumman-owners. They’re far more active than most websites/threads.

Concur with Roscoe. Scott E. from FletchAir did my pre-buy and it was very thorough.
Common things I wish I would have picked up while there:
– New Nav light lenses
– Stickers! My airplane was missing all the Grumman stickers, they have some, but not all.
– New placards (if any of yours need replaced)
– Interior Plastics & Windows (if you need…[Read more]

Looks great, Tim! Did you install? How satisfied are you with the product?

Thanks for the info, Dennis. Would you mind taking a photo of the Orion 650s on the wingtips? For the life of me, I can’t see how they would fit, even if I removed the existing strobe. I’d love to pull the trigger on this, but don’t want a complicated project. Picture of mine attached.

I see he’s out of the ICU! Congratulations, Roscoe! I know the road is a long one, but lots of people thinking and praying for you!

Robert, there’s a couple tips on Bondline.org Performance section, but I can’t testify personally. The biggest controversy I’ve heard is that taking off with 1/3 flaps helps. But that’s against the POH.

Congratulations on the beautiful Tiger! I’m a sucker for that red upholstery! Enjoy the airplane!

Update: Finally received word that my medical is on the way. Today, my instructor and I flew it from the hanger down to my local airport. The airplane flew well, and looks amazing. The project was very challenging and rewarding.

After a test-taxi, I realized I had actually made the problem worse. So this weekend, I took the caliper OFF and examined the larger anchor pin and bracket and noticed a little corrosion . Maybe just enough to cause this noise. So I reviewed `Roscoe’s video here https://youtu.be/jMhFq76-8ss and did my best to clean the surfaces that rub. After…[Read more]

I loosed the AN-4 bolts that sandwich the caliper to the anchor plate ever so slightly and this resolved the issue. I’ll have you take a closer look during my next annual, Roscoe.

Roger that, Roscoe! Will try this weekend and let you know!

Bumping this topic, any suggestions?

Excellent job, Roscoe! I love the look of the flat black around the windshield bow.

My Opinion. The Century 1 isn’t worth even the cost of the STC paperwork. Perhaps there’s a problem with mine, but the thing rocks you around like a baby in a cradle. While engaged, it essentially does small S-turns around the heading and makes me feel like I’m being rocked to sleep. I eventually just give up and hand-fly. Again, perhaps a…[Read more]

Replaced interior plastic, headliner, and side windows. See the restoration here.

Near Future:
– AuCountry glareshield
– AuCountry panel overlay
– New windshield

What’s your budget, Dhar? Every Tiger owner has his price! 🙂

Welcome to the group, David!

Thought I’d close the loop and report out on what I eventually did. Decided to go with the iPad Mini and Ram suction mount/ez Roller to the copilot side. It’s within close proximity to a charger right below it (EI USB-6A) and the Scout mounted to the windscreen right behind it.
Just another idea for mounting your tablet.
