the New Tiger ...
Since I started working on my ticket, and now my instrument, I have been in
love with the new Tigers from day one of my training. I can think about buying a plane now, and I'm disappointed that the New Tiger outfit tanked. There are a number of them on Controller and other sites for sale. Is it prudent to buy an orphaned aircraft brand? Do these planes have design or performance issues? I know I'll lose a bunch of market value --depreciation bucks because they're orphaned but I don't care; it'll be on Uncle Sam's dime. For me its a toss-up between a Diamond and the New Tiger, and frankly I prefer a yoke. Would love to hear from Tiger/Grumman boosters out there. Thanks in advance. |

Tigers are not as orphaned as you would think and parts are readily available. About the only difference between the 79 I just bought and the latest ones are the avionics and the later ones come with a Sensenich prop which requires an STC to install on a pre-90 Tiger.
