CGr,

I only hear great things about the Tiger 2, I can't wait to get this plane in the air. I want to make it a tail dragger and put dual aileron servos on it.

Does CGRetired stand for Coast Guard Retired?

I had a Tiger 60 myself and loved it. It was my second plane. I beat it all up and it kept on giving back to me. What was nice about it was the size, larger than the Tiger II gave great visibility. You could actually see immediate results from minor inputs during landings. It was great. I say was, not because I crashed it, but because someone really wanted to buy it from me so I sold it. Yes, I miss it... but I have a great replacement for it, my Skylark 70, which is another great flying plane.

And, yes, it stands for Coast Guard Retired. I retired as a CWO-4 (ELC) in July, 1997 after 26.5 years of active duty.

CGr.
