Default RE: Winter build.

Hi Irish.

You have a Tiger 60? Great plane. I had one for several years, started with an OS 61 SF that developed a bearing issue, so I swapped it out with a Super Tigre 75 that ended up having the insides of the muffler falling apart on me, so I put a Macs Tuned Pipe on the thing. Jeech.. that thing was a great performer. Great vertical, and handled just great. I sold the Tiger 60 to one of our club members, and as far as I know, it still flys.

shleprock, there's another great recommendation for you. And, it comes in kit form. What I've seen done with this plane is build it with the short wing.. that is, leave off the last two ribs in the build process. Just watch the build process because they tend to come in tail heavy.
