Blasphemous image... a Tiger with a tailwheel, and new curved windshields...

Real Tiger's have skids and no brakes.

Real Tiger Pilot speaking, of course. The Tiger I fly regularly is stock standard - no modifications except a radio

Either way, they are a bloody fun aeroplane. I started flying a Tiger when I had 60 hours total time. Passed my 100th hour in a Tiger enroute Maroochydore to Caloundra. Did my tailwheel and aerobatic endorsements in a Tiger (in fact, my old paper license was specially stamped by then-CAA as "DH82 type aircraft" )

My wife has been many times and LOVES it. Can't get her even to experience a loop yet, but we'll get her there one day.

Several thousand flying hours later, and I still like the Tiger like no other.

As to HDR, well.... there are better ways to acheive a better result (manual tone mapping for starters to avoid the halos - been there, done that). ALL the HDR softwareI have tried is as bad as each other, but perhpas, as H and I have discussed before, Nik's is truly ghastly, unless you tone it down to might as well not have applied it
