Grumman Tiger AA-5B
I am looking to buy a Grumman Tiger AA-5B for private use and am in discussions with an owner. Does anyone have any insights or comments about these aircraft? I am especially interested in things I should look out for – both operationally and from a maintenance point of view.
Many thanks Pedota :ok: |

Probably get a lot of info. from this recent thread. |
The Tiger was one of the first A/c to have laminated wings containing the fuel tanks....check the trailing edges to see if has been riveted...
|
.....also no direct nosewheel steering but overall a fantastic little aeroplane.
|
Many thanks
The comments are very much appreciated . . . and Newforest, that link is great!!
Thankyou Pedota:ok: |
Check for corrosion on that big round wing spar. a very exxy fix if it has any, and they are known for it.

Bonded, not laminated. There's a big difference. And actually the Traveller had them long before the Tiger came along. |
