On a brutally cold day in mid-February, the AOPA Sweepstakes Grumman Tiger taxied up to J.A. Air Center in Aurora, Illinois. The 800-nautical-mile flight from Boston was our first opportunity to see how this 43-year-old airplane performs. It flew exactly as it should—well, except for a heavy right wing, high fuel burn, and weak cabin heat. J.A. wasted no time removing the Tiger’s instruments, avionics, and interior—and soon a slew of modifications will be bolted on that will significantly enhance its performance.
