| Subject: | Need 30 year update |
Not a typo, three zero, not three.
I sold my Tiger (0449) 30 years ago. I still have my Yankee (0409), but it was
parked in the trees 35 years ago, so that doesn't really count. I was one of
the founding year members at AYA, but when surfing around to try to catch up
to the AA5B world, I ran into this site - and it seems there is a bit of a mod-crazy
crowd here (so I should feel right at home). So, if I ask some questions
that make you wonder if I have been living under a rock for 3 decades, that
is because I have been living under a rock for 3 decades.AA
There are a few specific things that have me very interested in finding out what
has happened with AA5 mods. When I left the fold, there was the A4K and original
prop - and that was about it. What little speed I could scrape up came
from rigging, sealing cracks and seams, removing steps, keeping engine baffles
tight, gutting the muffler and washing the bugs off. I had a bit of a knack
for doing extremely long, very high altitude flights (even though my name is not
here, someone could get my e-mail address, so I won't tell you HOW high) with
it, and managed a 143 knot cruise @ 75% (on DME then) full fuel, solo. I miss
the economy, speed, climb, ceiling, payload and reliability of that airplane
in all of the rented junk I have had to drive ever since.
I always wanted a BIT more HP. I see there are quite a number of people holding
STCs to diddle the engine room, including a 200HP/10:1 mod. I do remember a
one-off that had an 0-540 back in the day, but that was NOT a good solution to
the need. So tell me: why hasn't anyone shoved an IO-390 under the cowl yet?
Now THAT, with a custom carbon cowling and Powerflow exhaust would get my
blood boiling.
Then, there is that MT propeller. Someone please tell me about it. Is this thing
variable speed? Is it electric or hydraulic control? What does it weigh?
What does it do for performance? Their website is devoid of any useful information.
There seems to be a lack of uptake on LoPresti WOW cowlings. Seems like a lot
of potential COULD be had, but I seldom see them (nor the MT prop) on airplanes
listed for sale. These are common as dirt in the Comanche and Twinkie world.
What realistically IS the "state of the art" for 75% cruise TAS today?

Updates asking price. I=92ve been told even though my original price was
negotiable it may have been too high to start.****
** **
Thanks for your interest in my Tiger. Attached is an updated fact sheet
with an new asking price. I feel it is fair and reasonable, but will
consider offers.****
** **
The original fact sheet had some typos which I fixed and I added a couple
things I forgot.****
** **
Here is a link to the pictures:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ezx0z2tj8lmmexc/nHxO8kL5c9****
** **
The number of pictures I took seems large to me and each one is a large
file, so rather than send set of pictures to the dozen or so of you that
requested them, I have provided a link to a public folder containing
them. I am leaving for a trip to Germany in a couple hours so I did not
have time to compress and caption each picture. I=92m sure you can figure
out what each is depicting. I tool some pictures with engine running so
you could see that the instrumentation does work. I will have access to my
e-mail while I am gone, so if you have any additional question, please feel
free to e-mail me.****

At wot, leaned to 2700 rpm (from my jpi edm830, 2500 from the factory tach, my
tiger runs LOP really well), 5500 to 8500 ft, 9.8 gph, 63" pitch sensinich prop
I cruise at 135-136 tas, with crappy paint trimmed with bug guts. I have the
lopresti nosebowl (wish I had Gary's cowling, but I learned of it too late).
I need better pants, buried antennas, powerflow exhaust, electronic ignition,
and new paint.
Ned might chime in on the mt prop, he has one and really likes it. Gary has installed
a few of the new electronic ignitions, he might have info on those. He
is also working on an stc for an 180hp io-360 with a constant speed prop.
