About this aircraft

Cheetah with Wings "Fueled by Passion. Cleared for Connection." Welcome to Cheetah with Wings, a flying community based at CYRP (Carp, ON), built on a simple promise: to unite passionate aviators under a foundation of mutual respect, accessible flying, and a shared love for the open sky. The GRMF'ers are a group of pilots who fly our beloved 1976 Grumman American aa5a Cheetah (aircraft registration C-GRMF). Beyond our witty name lies a deep commitment to crafting a strong pilot community where we have fun together, build memories as we relentlessly search for the perfect $100.00 burger, and honour our beloved GRMF. The four co-owners of GRMF, Michel, Lakshay, Chris, and Simon are deeply passionate about general aviation and we believe that high-quality, advanced flying shouldn't be gated by exorbitant costs, nor should it ever lose its sense of joy. We do our part to keep aviation accessible by pairing top-tier avionics and uncompromising safety standards with low, reasonable rates. We know GRMF is special, but here are some of the characteristics that make her stand out from the crowd! 1. Safety First: We take pilot and passenger safety above all else, which is why we installed an Artex 406 MHz ELT, broadcasting directly to search and rescue satellite networks for total peace of mind. 2. Fresh & Reliable Engine: With a newly overhauled engine, pilots can expect hundreds of hassle-free flying hours for everyone in the community. 3. Serious Efficiency: Make all your pilot friends jealous as you brag about your last flights when you cruised comfortably at 132 MPH while sipping just 6 - 6.5 GPH @ 2550 RPM. 4. Glass Cockpit Precision: The Aspen 1000 EFD replaces traditional vacuum gyros with a crisp digital primary flight display, offering digital airspeed/altitude tapes and an integrated HSI right in your primary field of view. 5. Smart Engine Monitoring: The CGR-30P Engine Monitor gives you real-time EGT/CHT temps and digital fuel flow, taking all the guesswork out of leaning for maximum efficiency. 6. Complete Situational Awareness (ADS-B In/Out): Flight safety is paramount. With a Garmin GTX335 handling ADS-B Out and a Sentry providing ADS-B In, you get real-time subscription-free weather and local traffic alerts piped straight to your iPad or tablet. 7. Stress-Free Cross-Country Flying: Relax with the Trio Pro Pilot 2-Axis Autopilot. Coupled directly to our Garmin 430W WAAS GPS and Aspen display, it seamlessly handles pitch and roll for effortless multi-leg navigation. 8. Proven Navigation Equipment: Utilizing the Garmin 430W, the WAAS-certified GPS shoots approaches, direct-to navigation, and seamless integration with the rest of the panel. 9. Year-Round Flying: GRMF stays cozy in a fully enclosed hangar year-round, and comes equipped with a Tanis block heater for smooth winter starts. It’s our hope that every flight ends with smiles, happy memories and that our hangar feels like an extension of home. We truly believe that when we respect the aircraft and each other, we can share the laughter, support our community, and ensure the sky truly belongs to everyone. Do you want to be part of a community grounded in respect, passion, and camaraderie? Does the thought of flying a safe, sophisticated, and gorgeous (well, to us!) airplane make you smile?
