The STC was signed off today.



It only took 9 years and $135,000 from concept to signature.

Admittedly no, I’m loving the A36 but the Tiger was a lot of fun and a great plane.  I did see a very sad looking Cheetah at Barber Aviation in Madera where they work on my Bonanza (had to comply with the ridiculous circuit breaker AD last week).  They were chasing some starter issues with the top cowl off the cheetah.  I can’t remember seeing a sadder set of baffles.  Amazing what some owners will just overlook.  Barber is a good shop but Bonanza’s are more their specialty and I doubt they’ll push the Cheetah owner to clean that stuff up as it should be.  Too bad…  

   

Best,
