      I don’t know what Whelen is talking about regarding the Orion 500 in the tail cone, it is on their STC and fits perfectly. When coupled with the 650’s in the wingtips you have all around LED nav and strobe lighting.

      BTW I went with the Alpha Beam LED landing light and am very happy with it. The first time I few in at night my wife could see me from miles away!

      I have had my Tiger for about a year and am planning a trip to SW Colorado, either Durango or Pagosa Springs, and have also wondered about the high DA performance. After reaching out to the previous owner he sent me this photo he took while cruising at 16,500! The airplane does have a PowerFlow in addition to a port & polished Lycon engine, but wow, note the RPM. I’m planning of flying and noting the exact rate of climb comparing it with the POH values.

      The shop that renewed our interior glued the cracks back together then used Tapis fabric over the plastic parts to make it look new. Apparently this fabric will stretch in two directions to lay down flat around the compound curves.

      Cool idea about the carbon vinyl wrap but I wonder about the legality of it.

      This brings up a question I have. We have a tank drain and a sump drain. Why? Isn’t the sump drain lower, therefore where the water will actually collect? Has anyone found water at one and not the other?

      The grey really does look great. Fletchair sells the plastic overlays, but only in black. Do you think the SEM would provide adequate coverage? Of course they come needing to be trimmed, would an X-Acto knife and a Dremmel tool be up to the task? Perhaps the money saved vs. metal wouldn’t be worth it.

      Good idea, I just had a new interior put in and would like to clean up the panel without the expense of putting in new overlays. Do you know which SEM color is closest to the original brown/tan plastic panel overlay?
