Well I got my Tiger 60 for my birthday (Nov 30) and I have sorta organized my shop. Time to get started!
You should all know that Ihave pulled alot of ideas from this site so I will be refering to past postings for the mods I want to incorporate. I will be getting the Magnum 91 4 stroke for Christmas andI saw postings for an enclosed engine cowl so that will definatly be one mod. It looks very clean and just plain cool.
Another mod will be making this a taildragger. That one is alsoa done deal. Not yet decidedwith 100% is retractable mains. I really like the clean lines on a retract bird. And the thead I will be looking back at has a very interesting mod. Goldberg has an addendum they sent me to add retracts in a trike configuration. Ijust need to purchase their retrct mod kit. The thing is....I have read some very negative opinions of the Goldberg plans. Apparently if I insist on retracts it will not be as easy as insert tab A into slot B. SOOOO, if anyone wants to chime in on the subject, feel free to do so. I have a few weeks until Ihave to make a final decision. You guys should know...I am leaning heavily towards retracts.

So here we go. I officially started my build last night. Alot of guys enlarge the rudder and elevator to increase manuverability. I am not that good of a pilot yet so I will be making these standard size. When I start to take pics of mods I will try to make pics with closer detail. Feel free to jump in with any suggestions fellas. I definatly appreciate any input.
One more thing. I gotta say this.Yesterday was the SEC championship game. <span style="color: #ff0000">ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!</span>
