Welcome to the home of the Grumman Tiger and its kin!

Jaguar cowl – Almost there.IMG_20231108_170612956

Here is the latest on the Jaguar cowl. 
We have produced a set of preliminary parts (for trial fit only) and are currently fitting them on an airplane to validate the tooling and fit and finish as well as develop reliable cost data prior to selling them.  This test set is not as pretty as the production parts will be because we elected not to gel coat them. Being semi transparent makes working with them a little easier.  
 
We will announce pricing soon.  We are planning to make a run of five cowlings and will start them as soon as we have deposits for at least three.  
 
November was our internal company goal to be ready.  We are closing in and are nearly ready to bring it to market.
 
Should we put you down for one? 
 

True Flight has thousands of NOS parts available for the fleet.   Now we are pleased to announce that TFA has received our FAA Parts Manufacturing Authorization (PMA) and will be steadily increasing the availability of commonly and specialty parts for the Grumman line.

 The first item we have produced is the Cheetah carburetor duct PN 5503004-2.  It is available now and supersedes the 5503004-1.  The retooled duct has improvements to make it more durable. Carb Duct

We also have both 12v and 24v fuel boost pumps available. This new model pump uses a modernized electronic regulated design that replaces the old mechanically regulated pump yet is a direct replacement with no changes in wiring or plumbing.

We will be steadily adding additional new parts to our catalog as we determine the need. Contact us at 229-242-6337 or email Info@TrueFlightAerospace.com to order.

We are excited to show off our fuel injected Tiger.  So far the IO-360 promises to improve efficiency and overall performance.  We have been very pleased by the low fuel consumption numbers we have able to attain and the overall performance improvements.  It is hard to squeeze much more efficiency out of such an outstanding airframe design but this engine is doing it.

Besides the excitement of having the IO-360 fuel injected Tiger in the works, we are currently in ongoing discussions with several investor groups that are interested in supporting our efforts to bring the Tiger back to market and expand support for the nearly 5000 aircraft on both Type Certificates in the “Grumman” fleet.

As a housekeeping matter, we are putting a list of email addresses together of Grumman owners so that we can share ongoing airworthiness and technical information from time to time.  Please shoot us an email so we will have your contact information.

We’ll see you soon!

Thank you,
