Timber Tiger Ryan ST-L Replica

Nothing says golden age of aviation like a Ryan ST, which is among America’s most iconic flying machines. Jeff Deaton’s “Ollie”—a Timber Tiger kit (and original prototype)—is scaled replica of the 1933 original and a show winner for good reason. AvBrief’s Larry Anglisano spent some time with Deaton for a walkaround tour of the airplane at Sun ‘n Fun 2026.

Special thanks to Dan Matlosz at Performance Propeller/Fairings-Etc for helping arrange the tour.
