Hints and Tips

Oil: IFL doesn't like oil over 6 quarts (over 6.5 and it will squirt it out over the fuselage)
Priming: 4 primes. Warm or cold.
Differential brakes: Don't ride them. Just tap them occasionally during taxi to keep your general direction right to save on brake pads.
Nosewheel shimmy: Upon landing pull hard back to minimise nosewheel shimmy.
Leaning: Make sure you lean to (at least) 75 degrees rich of peak. This maximises engine life.
Starting: The Tiger has impulse coupling - always start on left magneto only.
