I delivered the plane Saturday with the new horizontal braces. One observation: it could be me but, I think the horizontal felt stiffer than even the one on my plane. Plane flew well. I did some steep turns and pulled a couple of g's.
We'll see.
I have 3 more planes with cracks.

You are becoming the tail crack 2expert 2. If I run across any I'm going to send them down to you!

I maintain 26781 which was converted to a Tiger. I tried sending the video but it was too large. I'll cut it down.

I found a way to save it as an exported Q-time file. It's only 9MB now. It works on my computer.

What is involved in converting a cheetah to a tiger. I fly out of short grass strips in northwest florida and some extra horse power sure would be nice.

My Cheetah was converted to a Tiger under an STC in 1980. The conversion involves replacing the engine and front cowling as well as the thru spar to get the increased gross weight.

Funny thing about that extra horsepower. A while back on the other site there was talk of how a 150 hp Traveler was enough. Still, I've never heard, "Gee, I wish I had less horsepower."
The cost to convert your plane to a Tiger is a lot higher than just selling your plane and buying a TIger. It really isn't worth the cost to convert.
If you want better climb performance, do the basics. GET RID OF WEIGHT. Most planes have way too much stuff in them that is never used. Then,
• Sensenich prop
• Powerflow
• High Compression STC if you don't have one already
• Ported and polished cylinders
• Lycon overhaul with ported and polished cylinders and a reindexed cam.
Did you get the video?

I believe changing the center carry through spar is optional. I have seen a plane or two that used the Cheetah cowling and NACA air inlet and modified the stock Cheetah airbox with a Beech carburetor heat valve. Might be an alternative as Tiger airboxes are almost nonexistent.
