In that one specifically? I’d love to hear the story, who owned it what the power plant was like. I really don’t know a lot about the history of it. A lot has been done to it since 1946 though

I bought it from a guy in Missouri in late August 2006 . I was 56 years old and had never taken a flying lesson. It had the continental 75 hp engine. I found an instructor at Y14 and got my sport pilot certificate in it. A few years later I sold it to Scott and he did made it look new again. I have many great memories in ‘Tigger’.

That’s pretty cool, so it’s had 3 engines in it then. Scott flew it everywhere for a few years after restoration, sold it to Tim in Lemmon, SD and it sat there for a few years and then I bought it in 2020, got my sport certificate in it obviously I still own it and plan on passing it down to the next generation. Tiger is a neat name, I named it “Bumblebee” and it lives in Buffalo, SD how did it get the name tiger?

Big time, got it fixed you know it was around $1300 just for the little pipe and elbow to fix that from John deer? Ouch.

I don’t sorry

Thanks! ​@@Hangar605

Yeah that one eventually blew a rod right through the block but for what kind of hell it’s been through honestly wasn’t a bad rig, had a 2002 ford Taurus after that and i liked it a little better, settled into Chevy Silverado and I stuck with that

I agree! Once you have it, it’s yours it took a long time for me to get it and I plan on keeping it long enough it becomes a family air loom no pun intended. Thanks for watching!

Hey Matt! Great Question! It is 1,953 feet and uses just a little under 600 feet in a full stall landing without breaks. Ideally a 2,000 foot runway is great especially for wheel landings, thanks for watching!

Hey Brad! Thanks for watching! And thank you, they are a dream to fly and cheap to own, I like having an electrical system. It’s partial of course, Only having an alternator and no starter I don’t mind propping it.

@@Hangar605 Thanks for the info. I was thinking it may have a starter. Same here; I don't mind hand propping the BC-12D and a few J3s that I have flown. Your avionics panel looks great with the basic necessities. The only item I had was a hand held radio and not all the time. Of course no XPNDR, but did have an ELT. ;-)

Nothing wrong with analog! I’m hoping to have another 3 or 4 or 8 planes by the time I’m done haha I want to start doing projects

Bobby Craig I agree, I hope to make more videos on flying and a hangar I’m building, can’t leave her outside!
