Flight was brief - climbout to 3000', slow flight, a few stalls, landing.

Aircraft has logged 7 flights since Tuesday, 5 hour check Saturday, all good.

Congratulations to everyone involved. It is always a wonderful day when one of these old birds takes to the sky again. Well done!!

Thanks everyone, thanks Mike, for posting that video.

We're really happy with how well she is performing. I'm hoping to do some flying tomorrow and I really like "Fleet16B"'s idea to take her to the Tigerboys fly in in Guelph. If the weather is good, we'll be there!

Andy hope to see you guys there but one question
There are three owners, so who gets to walk the wing ?

[DH82EH]

We knew all along that this wouldn't work, if we couldn't share

I know for a fact that nobody wants to see any of our ugly mugs walking wing. Our tiger had a previous life as a glider tug though, the boys do have a glider. Hmmmm.......

Hey Cam is the date for the fly in Sept 21 & 22?

Andy

[Fleet16b]

Andy
Yes you have the date correct
For over 30 yrs now the Tigerboys Open House has been on the 3rd w/end in Sept both

Fantastic job Andy & friends!! Thanks for the video, a friend of mine said the field looked like the movie "Signs" I Said NO! the movie "Field of Dreams"!! " If you build it .... . Congrats... "Keeping it Two"!! , Anthony

[DH82EH]

Thanks Anthony.
That ten foot high corn was pretty intimidating. It had to be corn, it couldn't be soybeans or grain this year Wat had the guy who leases the farmland cut down about five extra rows on each side of the runway for us. That was a big help. The Tiger is running great. Flew in it yesterday . As far as "keeping it two" we're going to try out a couple of different propellers. Since 1966 our Tiger has sported a climb prop for towing banners and gliders. It's kinda like it's stuck in second gear . She'll always have two wings and two prop blades .

Do you just need the one?
