I was reading the post about 2 seat production aircraft and saw someone mention the Grumman Tiger as a good platform to fly in preparation for RV ownership. I had never really looked at it but I did some surfing around and I have to say that its a really good looking plane and there is a pretty large and active owner group out there.
So my thought was to get a Tiger, build hours, while building an RV. Then when it came time for my RV engine just take it off of the Tiger....O-235 is a recommended RV9 engine, and it will be a very known quantity to me after flying behind it.
Is that swap legal to do?
And assuming it is (this may seem to be a dumb question) but what are the chances of selling an aircraft minus the engine?
Thanks
