Did anyone go back and find out who did the previous work so they can either correct them or get their license reviewed? -retry dangerous stuff here and wondering how common this stuff is considering how this mechanic is speaking about it, seems very common and shakes my faith in service.

Why don't the other airplanes have that sliding canopy instead of that single wrong-side door?

This is why you have a expert do your annual!

It would be nice if you had included actual cruise speed numbers, instead of just saying it's faster than a 172.

Super helpful video thanx !

Had a AA-1B which I upgraded to a Lycoming O-320 great fun flyer!

This man right here hopefully has trained someone else to take his place. You’re seeing a dying breed. Wow if I owned a Grumman he’s the only one who would touch it.

Nice job guys !! Thank you

I've owned my Grumman for five years, and I still learned from you guys! Great work!

Exellent video , I own a traveller have been flying with it all over Mexico , some flights to Guatemala and also many to the US , I thing mine is the only one remaining in mexican territory . love my Grumman Keep up the good work with your exellent videos

I’ve had my maintenance shop tow my AA5 by the nose wheel assembly using their tow carts. Sounds like I shouldn’t let them do that any longer. What can get damaged?

I got a traveler and it’s hard to find parts

I've been a victim of leaving that dome light on... only did it ONCE, (knock on wood). I have not yet operated on grass strips, so that steering/braking tip is good to know. As for ice, I've taxied on an iced up ramp many times. You definitely need to taxi at slower than normal speeds and avoid sharp turns and heavy braking unless you want to spin around like a drunk balerina!

Nice! We own and fly a 77 AA-5B Tiger up here in Colorado and it is an excellent aircraft!

Learned a lot here.

Staying off the ailerons is pretty difficult to do! LoL, very good maneuvers. Thank you. Just a suggestion, but the forward slip along a line could be done at altitude down a road, or railroad etc. in case of an accelerated stall to have time for a recovery.

What about the TR-2?

David's mom, Maybelle Fletcher, gave me my Private Pilot check ride on my birthday in 1992. I also got instruction from his dad, Larry, on occasion. I thoroughly enjoyed all my flight time with Fletcher Aviation which was based at Hobby Airport in Houston. They had numerous Cheetahs and a couple of Tigers, as well as a Cougar twin. I sure miss those days. My favorite was N9960U which we affectionately called six-oscar-ugly because it had a camo paint scheme with cat eyes and whiskers on the nose. I have a picture of that plane in my logbook.

Just to confirm for the rudder coordination maneuver, throttle to idle and no flaps, correct? Much appreciated.

Nice paint scheme!

I left KDRO in summer with my son and luggage on a 100° day. 9500 DA. We got an anemic ZERO fpm at times! But that's what VCOAs are for😁 Also crossed the Sierras at 11000 last summer. AA5s are can-do aircraft!

This is great, and you got a real expert to do the work for you so you know you can trust this advice.

THANK YOU!!

Thank you!! 👏🏆👏🏆

Thank you for the videos in this series!

Very thorough video. Thanks for putting it together.

In my short time and maybe a dozen hours or so in the Tiger, i remember the yoke being incredibly light and chuckable, I would not necessarily use the term "sports car" as the roll rate comparable. The flaps seemed to make minimal difference in approach speeds and angles compared to the cessna/piper trainers. I definitely enjoyed the extra speed, i believe every bit of the claim that it keeps up with an arrow.

Great overview. Thanks to David, Scott and the gang at Fletchair! Certainly shows you why you should take your Grumman to highly experienced Grumman savvy shop.

Put the NEW (CERTIFIED) Delta Hawk (Jet Fuel) Compression Ignition engine in and now you will really have something. Of course, it's ONLY 60K - 100K $ for the engine and install.

I appreciate the mention about pilot height, this is so often difficult to find out without actually sitting in the plane yourself. Looks like Bruno's camera drone work is improving.

Thrilled to find this new series, as a new Tiger owner! Keep ‘em coming!

Excellent overview and comparison.

Is this the same for the Lynx?

Excellent work! I fly a Lynx and I really appreciate the attention to detail in this series. Bravo to everyone!

Great job!!! love these

Bruno has 1st hand experinece about getting locked in the plane. :)
