With no wind I guess that would mean that your TAS and ground speed would be
the same. At lower altitudes and colder winter air that would also mean you
are operating right up near the redline IAS (172 kts.). Hmm!
Close to the redline but not at it, remember IAS is lower the higher in
altitude you are. When making a descent from 8,500 you can see IAS numbers
in the bottom of the yellow arc and still be doing close to 170 knots,
secondly theres nothing wrong with flying just below the red line in smooth
air, that is what the red line is there for isnt it.

Just purchased a very nice 1976 Tiger and it is an absolute joy to fly except for
a "heavy right wing" or tendency to roll right. Has anyone had this problem?
Is there an easy fix? i.e. adjusting the tabs on aelerons? Any info would be
greatly appreciated. My mechanic is talking about lengthy (read: expensive )
trouble-shooting of the problem and I suspect it's not that complicated.

First .. the Tiger is sensitive to fuel load being balanced and will roll
to the heavy side. With both tanks full and just the pilot . .this would
tend to be the left side. So be sure it isn't just the way the plane
is loaded.
My Tiger was a little off when I got it .. and I got it pretty much
spot on by adjusting the aileron and rudder trim tabs.

Usually the problem is rigging. Minor corrections can be made using the
trim tabs.

--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Daniel F. Rychlik, M.D." <drychlik@sbcglobal.net>
I just purchased a 1992 Tiger and having problems even before it was delivered.
First the ferry pilot had a total electrical failure in flight after keying the
intercom switch. Mechanic found a fried battery, alternator and voltage regulator
which were all replaced. After the pilot was traveling for 4 hours without
difficulty. While getting clearance at an airport the electric failure happen
again this time popping the alternator fuse. It happened when the mic button
was activated. A PTT button was placed to bypass this switch but the problem
continued. The plane has now been flown for 12 hours without a recurrence. I
don't believe pushing the mic button is the problem. Has anyone had similar issues
any help would be great.
Thanks
Daniel
