If you want a really great paint job, There is a place here in Southern
California, in Santa Paula, that does a top of the line paint job. And, they
know
Grummans. They aren't cheap.
Look at my web site, Under Team Grumman, and click on projects. There is
a Tiger, worlds most perfect Tiger, on that page. It was painted in Santa
Paula.

I'm not sure. You could call them. The perfect Tiger got 3 colors plus
3-D lettering. Out the door, with clearcoat it was just over $11,000. It's
flawless though. It's definitely show quality.

I know, Mark has made it so it even strips out my web site information
regarding Team Grumman. I guess he fears some competition. If you could, I'd
appreciate posts to Team Grumman as well.
Thanks

Nothing personal, I assure you. I just don't have any experience with them.
Well, I have some, just not much. I have a LOT of time in the 4 place and
so I focus on them.
-------------------------------------------
I flew my new cowling today with two other Tigers. One had the powerFlow
muffler. The 75 Tiger I'm using as a test bed was faster than either of them.
And this 75 is ROUGH. It's been crashed twice.
I also installed a manometer to meassure pressure drop across the cylinders.
Lycoming recommends 6 1/2 inches of water pressure drop in cruise, and over
3 1/2 in climb. Well, i get 5 inches of water in climb and 6 1/2 to 7 inches
of water in cruise. Lycoming also recommends 90 square inches of inlet
area, I'm using about 46 square inches. My inlets are total pressure recovery
inlets and they work great.
Data
inches of water @ throttle @ condition @ alt @ OAT @ IAS
3/4 @ IDLE @ parked @ 2247 @ 104 @ 0
2 - 2 1/2 @ full @ climb @ .... @ 102 @ 80
3 1/2 to 4 @ Full @ climb @ ... @ 97 @ 90
4 to 4 1/2 @ full @ climb @ ... @ 94 @ 100
5 - 5 1/2 @ full @ S&L @ 4500 @ 90 @ 118-120 (133 True)
6 1/2 @ full @ S&L @ 4500 @ 89 @ 129 (145 True)
6 1/2 @ full @ S&L @ 6500 @ 79 @ 125 (145 True) (lots of turbulence)
6 1/2 @ full @ S&L @ 7500 @ 79 @ 130 (153 True)
I'm happy. I also painted colored oil dots all over it to see where the air
flows. The inlet in front of #2 has some reverse flow, but other than that,
it looks great. I'll post some pics when I get them processed.
I need to convert this plane back to the original cowling next week so i'll
get the before data after that. It should be fun.
