Cheetahs and Tigers
The Grumman Cheetah and bigger-engined Tiger may be overlooked by some buyers searching the crowded under-$50K used airplane market.

With a sporty slide-back canopy, snappy handling and reasonable cruise speed for its fuel-sipping 150-HP powerplant, a Cheetah works for training, traveling and for tooling around the local area.

At this time, there is no word on when completed airplanes may roll out.<P>New production is good news for fans of this virtuous single, which offers simplicity (that means low maintenance cost and reliability), good looks and performance thats among the best in its class-better, even, than some retractab...
