June 6Jun 6 As a GA nut, I was surprised to see this, and that I'd not heard anything about it!It's a full pack, with the Traveller, Cheetah and Tiger and panel options ranging from basic VFR steam gauges, to the (rare) G1000 models, sold from 2006 before Tiger Aircraft went out of business in 2007. (The real Tiger G1000 only came with the original non-WAAS G1000, without the integrated GFC700).Quality looks high.https://www.justflight.com/product/bluesky-hangar-grumman-aa5This will be a day 1 instant buy for me! It'll be a good replacement for the BR Designs AA5, which has some strange proportions in the cockpit.

June 6Jun 6 What a lovely surprise. Instant purchase. Very happy to see this available.I have the old FS2020 model, and I really enjoy it, but this will most certainly replace it.
June 6Jun 6 Author 3 hours ago, jon b said:The “Hello everyone, I’m an airline pilot “ chap has just done a YouTube video with this aircraft which may interest you😄 Just found that. Quite a poor video to be honest. One of the main features of this aircraft is that they have custom-made the Century 1 Wing Leveller, which has never been built in FS before. He seemed oblivious to this and thought that the AP ON/OFF switch was it! The modes are controlled from the Turn Coordinator. Being a custom function it would have been good to see. The video was really stuttery too for some reason (they're not normally on his channel).

June 6Jun 6 Interesting little bit of information... the buildings used by Grumman to build the Tiger, Cheetah, and Cougar in Savannah GA are still in use today by Gulfstream for building G500,G600,G700, G800 components (among other things), and if you walk the main production campus you will still encounter places like "Tiger St", Cougar Ave", etc. Kerry W.

I am not 100% sure and am certainly not going to watch that awful video again 😄 but I believe it will be £24.99 for the pack (with Traveler, Cheetah and Tiger and 4 panel types).

Thursday at 06:07 PM4 days It looks interesting, I'm just not familiar with the developer. Is that the same group working on the 757? Hopefully there's some more reviews out soon, but I haven't seen anything from the usual streamers. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF

It's not related to the 757 development, they just both have 'blue' in their names.
