I haven’t found a trace of corrosion. The area of Canada is supposedly very dry where I found it. Up by Edmonton. I started at the tail and worked my way forward. I am at the windshield now but the cold weather in NJ has froze me out for the winter. I don’t want to mess with the windshield bonding until it gets warmer. Then it’s on to the engine. I plan to pull two jugs to inspect the cam lobes and have a look around inside. The aircraft needs to be imported so I want to only do what is required to get a Airworthiness Certificate before doing any upgrades.

thanks, progress has slowed for the winter. I have been bringing things inside to work on like prop and wheel pants. doing paperwork for the import process. Getting ready to drop an obscene amount of money on avionics. So far it is in great shape.

Reuniting the Tiger with its wings. I found that a 2×8 on a rubbermaid cart and a 2×8 on a cut down rubbermaid cart were the perfect sizes to install the wing. My wife and I were able to do it ourselves without any issues. I know there are lots of ways to install a wing on a grumman but if you dont have 3 strong guys standing around this is a good option.

and the little cart

overdue for an update. I did finaly get that tiger in the air. I ended up finding a bad camshaft which meant giving all my money to Penn Yan for an overhaul. I also had to pay a D.A.R big bucks to do my import C of A. Made me cranky because the Feds use to do that for free. I also installed a Garmin comm and a Garmin XPNDR to be ADS B compliant. Then I moved the AI and DG over one hole to the right and made a cover for the empty center holes and mounted my Garmin 796 right to the panel for my poor mans EFIS. It is a pleasure to fly. I was a little nervous on my first flight. It hasnt left the ground since 2006.

No. I still have the original beacon. It still works for now. I want to do an engine monitor next but still trying to decide which one. the JPI stuff is nice but to get one that replaces everything is really pricey.
