Not that it would affect Gary, because he always carries out the inspection called
out in SAIB CE-04-34, but for the rest of you a 27 year old MM is not the
current revision.
Latest Revision is 5 dated March 1, 2004 issued by Tiger Aircraft. Revision 5 includes
the inspection of the Stabilizer Spar Carry-Through covered in the SAIB.
I assume that because this did not result in a SB, unlike SB192 for the Traveler,
Tiger Aircraft amended the MM instead.
Anyone wanting a Rev 5 supplement to update their MM should contact Garner in the
first instance.

Seems like in the last 60 to 90 days everyone at our airport is having plugs lead
and or at least load up much much worse than ever before. With having recently
bought my tiger I have noticed that it also needs leaned aggressively on the
ground to run clean and it's best and during ground operation mag checks.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar in their area. We generally feel that
we are dealing with a bad load of fuel at our airport. My plane has in the last
50 hours had the carb replaced with a reman unit and runs perfectly otherwise.
Part 2.. Having a fuel flow totalizer for the first time makes me wonder if anyone
knows from memory what kind of flow #'s they might generally see at say, taxing
rpm, runup, idle and climb out. Would be fun to compare readings here. The
turbine seems to me to be accurate to within maybe as good a 1-2 tenths of
a gallon on 40 gallon fill ups so it would seem to be relative to compare readings
with one another. I am guilty of not knowing my own answers to these same
questions but will re-post as soon as the weather breaks and I get into the air
again.
I am thinking I saw 16 gallons on climb out right after liftoff but will accurize
my numbers asap following my next flight. I do not have my POH at home but
does anyone know the full power climb out fuel burn expectation for the 0-360
Idle: .9 to 1 gallon
Taxi:
Run up:
Climb out:16 gallon

I can only provide a number for cruise but 16 GPH sounds reasonable for
climbout.....
Time after time on four hour flights to and from my home and Chicago at
7/8/9 T, I saw 132 knots TAS and 9.2 GPH....exactly what the charts
predicted.... maybe one knot more or one tenth GPH on some days but 132/9.2
was set in stone and confirmed on many flights !!!
