The Grumman Tiger was a 180hp 4 seater that is basically like a Cheetah which I believe was 150hp and also 4 seats. These were offshoots of the Grumman Yankee which was a 108hp 2 seater.

The original was designed by Jim Bede (same guy who designed the "pocket plane" BD 5 of James Bond fame). They were originally built by American Aviation and at some point Grumman aquired the rights.

I had a 1974 Grumman 108 hp (AA1B 108/115hp). It was an agile little plane but not much fun on a hot day with full fuel and two people on board while trying to take off from an 1800' long grass strip!
