(Not) For Sale

1978 Grumman Tiger N28819

Price Reduced!

N28819, aka. 'Cleo', has been my trusted companion for a bit less than two years. This July we completed a trip from Long Island, NY to Oshkosh, to rural Iowa, and back home; 17 hours of flight time during which she performed perfectly. A combination of mission profile changes, good fortune, and unique opportunity have recently conspired to have me reluctantly offer her for sale.

Numerous features include:

  • Garmin GNS430 still under warranty, registered for WAAS upgrade
  • Garmin 150XL (VFR-moving map) as backup GPS
  • King KY97A COM2
  • Narco Nav121 NAV2
  • Narco ADF 141 TSO ADF receiver
  • Garmin GMA 340 Audio panel wired for portable 3rd radio, music, 4-place intercom
  • Garmin GTX320A solid-state transponder
  • Century II autopilot slaved to either GPS
  • Davtron M800 digital clock/timer
  • Avionics master switch
  • Vertical Card Compass
  • Rosen Sun Visors
  • Dillon GPS Bracket
  • LASAR electronic ignition system
  • Sensenich prop, eliminates yellow zone from tach
  • Steps removed (but included) for that few extra knots (noted in W+B)
  • Full logs, available for inspection in PDF format
  • No major damage history
  • Annual due December, 2006; fresh IFR static check
  • 3404 SNEW, 1193SMOH, 105 STOH as of 9/10/2006

Not directly attached to the airframe, but included are:

  • Canopy Cover
  • Nose plugs
  • Wing and tail covers (great for keeping that winter ice off)
  • LASAR ignition system timing/test unit (many mechanics don't have this)
  • Shop manual in enormous looseleaf binder
 
Also possibly available is an EI UBG-16 Engine Analyzer with the fuel flow option.This was purchased before I decided to offer the plane for sale. It will be made available to the buyer of the plane for the deeply discounted Oshkosh invoice price.
