Ditto my numbers. I see 135+ routinely. I plan 10gph, and leaned out at
altitude can get slightly less at 2600 RPM. Mark AA-5B at HEF "Javier Henderson" wrote in message ...

Contact info if interested is also at the above site. (Below) I copied this from the "Registration" link. Are those numbers right? 105 mph? 13.5 gph? 180 hp? The Tiger has a 180HP engine, and cruises, on the average, at about 130 to 135 KTAS on about 9.5 gpph, at around 7000 to 9000'. -jav (former Tiger owner, more than once) |

If they don't figure out the insurance thing, they will hit a brick wall. I am paying around $1K/yr for my Tiger. I can't imaging paying over $6K/yr for a fixed gear single, and from what I have heard it doesn't matter if you are a 500 hour instrument pilot or not... At that rate, it would be better to find a nice used twin. Are you sure that it's not just the difference in hull value? The hull portion of the insurance for my 1979 Warrior II was about USD 1,350 for USD 50,000 coverage last year. A new SR22 is worth nearly seven times that, so I'd expect to pay about seven times as much for hull coverage, even though my liability was the same. All the best, David |

I may be all wrong, but I thought the bulk of insurance premiums was tied up
in the liability, not hull. Are you buying $1M smooth coverage? "David Megginson" wrote in message ... "Mark T.

What's the endurance? Are there standard and long range tank versions? Tanks hold 51 gallons usable, there are tabs to let you load 38 usable so you get a little more useful load for pax+baggage. There's an STC'd 18 gallon aux tank available, it robs some space off the relatively small baggage area so I never considered it. -jav |

It stands to reason that the premium is a combination of factors that add to
up the level of exposure the insuror feels they have. Complex airplane and low-time pilot? Bigger risk. Simple airplane, high hull value? Bigger risk though in different amounts. So, yes the SR-22 would be 4x the Tigers hull value. And it's more complex though not like stepping up to a P210 for example. And frankly the accident record, for whatever reasons, hasn't been stellar particularly given the size of the fleet. So higher premiums. Talking with Cirrus, I didn't qualify for the insurance reduction program as I already have an IR. "David Megginson" wrote in message ... "Mark T. Mueller" writes: I may be all wrong, but I thought the bulk of insurance premiums was tied up in the liability, not hull. I think that's wrong. I pay 2.7% of insured value for in-motion and not-in-motion hull insurance. More experienced pilots probably pay less, but I'd be surprised (happy, but surprised) to see it get much under 2%. What do people pay down in the U.S. for in-motion/not-in-motion? Are you buying $1M smooth coverage? I have CAD 1M (USD 715K) total combined liability -- no per-seat maximum -- at CAD 515/year (USD 370/year). That's a small fraction of what I pay for hull coverage, even for a plane that's worth only USD 50K. I was an 85-hour, newly-minted, unrated PPL at the time, so that's about as expensive as liability would get. All the best, David |

I copied this from the "Registration" link. Are those numbers right? 105 mph? No. Substitute "3" for "0" (of course DA, weight, power setting are factors) 13.5 gph? No. Substitute "0" for "3" (of course, DA and power setting are factors) Must be where the missing "3" went. 180 hp? Yes, with a few 200 hp conversions flying around. The main limitation of the Tiger IMO is the fixed-pitch prop. They are usually pitced for cruise airspeed, so it's a mediocre climber at max gross and high DA.

Sorry for my comment, but can't hold back:
How do you come up with a ridiculous price like that. Your plane is an old pile of junk. Compare it to a 1997 to 1999 Cessna 172! They are available from $75000 and up... Look for yourself www.aso.com And you get recent avionics, lower time, nice paint, nice interior, lower insurance, ad a new engine and you are set... Your plane... $76000...Ha, what a joke... "Flynn" wrote in message news:YpN1b.235442$o%2.106915@sccrnsc02... Well I've taken the new plane plunge and put a deposit down on a new SR22 for delivery in late Sept. My wife says I can't have 2 airplanes so the Tiger's for sale. Latest info is at http://www.ipilot.com/classifieds/ad...&cid=-1&fuid=0 I'm going to take some new pic's today and post them there. Contact info if interested is also at the above site. Patrick Flynn Sammamish, WA 79 Tiger N4543A KRNT |

Look at the engine hours, numb nuts. Also, Flynn's airplane is at least 20 knots faster and has an autopilot. Check the Grumman Tiger prices in ASO, while ypu're blundering around in there. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

Fly a Tiger and then come back and tell me it handles like a Cessna.
