One observation, one question. Not really sure which category to put this in but I decided to get one of those small electric heaters for under the Cowl of my tiger and I wanted some type of insulation for the top. Heater seems to work great and after doing a lot of searching I finally came up with the idea of using a water heater blanket. Probably not the first to think of this but it works really well. And inexpensive
And now for the question. I noticed that in the POH it doesn’t describe take off with 10° your flaps anywhere that I can see. This weekend I will be flying out of a well manicured grass strip but I won’t have an opportunity to do my own experimentation. Has anyone actually compared take off distances within without flaps in a Tiger? Every other plane I’ve ever flown talks about short field takeoff using flaps. While it is not in the POH I’m always anxious to hear the thoughts of experienced tiger pilots. Thanks for any information you can provide.
