Ah.. I must have overlooked that. Thanks for the update.

Actually, the only real problem I ever had with the Tiger 60 was the nose gear. Most of the problems I had with it were due to hard landings, though, and that was my fault... but I did learn a lot about landing with that plane. I did literally hundreds of touch-and-go landings with it, which probably did the most to mess up the nose gear. But, I would tighten it up and fly. As a matter of fact, I did that quite often.. .

It was the first plane that I put Sullivan Goldenrods as elevator and rudder "control wires". I found out that these will flex when put under a hard load, like a quick pull of the elevator, for instance, it would appear sluggish. I landed it and found that I could grab the elevator and move it up and down while watching the tube with the goldenrod inside flex by watching it from the wing saddle area (yeah, with the wing off). I removed some covering from the bottom of the plane, it has a flat bottom fuselage, skuffed up the tube next to the formers, and epoxied the tube to the formers. All of them. This ended the flex problem.

Anyway, it was a great second plane for me. I eventually sold it (I think I said that... age, I guess.. ).
