Ah.....I didn't quite realise you are a fellow Tiggie pilot, how many hours? I haven't flown a Tiggie for about 10 years now (270 hours), I fly a Stearman for my vintage fix now.

last time I flew one it was in 2005! I have some 350 under my belt (if memory serves!), then tried a Jungmann and fell in love with the thing!
The Tiggie was my first vintage plane experience, and a first love too, with all its quirkiness and the handling of a barn door
a good ol' gentle lady that can bite, but it's a pleasure to fly for a stroll above the countryside
I fly with a Stearman here too, another world, esp with the beefier engine, still not too sold about that cheeky torque though
