2nd what Kyle said about the Deluxe Cessna Towbar. Wag Aero also sells
a similar which I have (since Wag is in my back yard.) As Kyle said, a
little tweaking of the cotter pin is in order. Also, I reamed out the
lugs on the towbar ever so slightly and that helps. I also used a
slightly longer bolt for the tailwheel and put a few washers under each
side. This gives the towbar some more "meat" to grab onto, but it
probably cost me .001 knot. I forget the exact bolt size but it was
about 1/2 inch longer than standard.

After 10-years of flying my RV, I use the built in towbar (horizontal stab)
to move the airplane were ever it needs to go. It is already part of the
airplane, does not increase empty weight of the airplane, and did not cost
any extra money.

Walt,
I made my own tow bar. It cost me nothing because I had the materials
at hand. It is light; less than 3 ounces. It folds to an overall
length of 4 inches, so I take it with me with no problems. It is a rope
with a 1-inch diameter dowel used for a handle. Slip it around the
vertical shaft of the tailwheel and the plane will follow you wherever
you pull it.
I'm not trying to by cute. IMHO money spent on a towbar for a tail
dragger is wasted.

The rope works great....unless you want to *push* the plane with the
"towbar". :-)
With my hangar situation it is easiest to manage the plane with the
towbar both coming and going while maneuvering around my hangarmate's
RV-6A.
The Cessna bar has worked great for eight years:

Why do you need a towbar? If you have a full swivel tailwheel (all of them do
nowadays, but I just recently had to upgrade mine to the Bell tailwheel fork)
just push on the horizontal and vertical stab and she'll move anywhere you want
to go.

| Subject: | Tail Dragger Towbar Question |
Agreed the Tail Dragger Dragger might work ok on asphalt but it does not
work well on grass. Here is my experience with it.
I have to push the dragger up under the belly by going quite a bit up
forward else the wheel doesn't fit under the back of my -6. Then pull it
back to get it to the tail wheel and it wont really just slide to get the
tailwheel between the pins so usually I end up picking up the plane slightly
to set it on the dragger. Hard to do with only two hands. Then when I try
to pull it backwards on the grass the wheel tends to want to turn in the
saddle. This is especially true if you need to turn the dragger to position
the plane differently. Once the wheel turns in the saddle, it will pop off
the dragger and be a bad thing. To fix this I use a bungy cord to wrap
around the wheel and the dragger and hook it to the pins. Well you can't
just go under the dragger with the bungy so again you have to lift up on the
handle while stretching the bungy under the bar so you can bring it over the
top of the wheel again to hook it.
Overall I have deemed it next to useless for my needs and would be willing
to sell it to someone with asphalt only needs. Personally I wouldn't buy
one again even if I was on asphalt. An engineer friend here on the airpark
designed a simple and easy to use with positive connection for his Sonex.
After seeing how easy it was it looked to me like it would work for my RV.
He has redesigned a version for me and this works about as perfect as it
could. Now I just walk this back up to the rear of the tail wheel and tip
the handle up and push it in. Once under the wheel bolt, let the handle
down and you have a positive lock on the wheel and it will NOT turn out, pop
off or even require me to get down and screw around with it. I love it and
am absolutely willing to share the design. Problem is you have to build it.
If anyone is interested, just email me and I will scan the detail drawings
in so you can see for yourself.

| Subject: | Fw: Tail Wind Project For sale |
On the way back from a trip to Louisiana, I landed at Walker County
Airport (KJFX) Alabama to refuel. While refueling a gentleman came over
and introduced himself as Ed Banks. Mentioned that he had an RV-6 and
invited me to see it. Very nice RV with clean paint lines. While in
his hangar I noticed he had a Tailwind with the wings off which he was
restoring.
Ed stated that he had built new wings, had a newly overhauled O-295, new
Plexiglas all around and had complete the process of recovering. The
cloth needs one more coat of aluminum UV blocker before applying paint.
I believe he also had a new instrument panel blank. He had new
lightweight fiberglass cowling components as well.
Citing insufficient time to complete it, Ed would like to find a buyer
for it as a project. I asked him what he wanted for the project and he
quoted me an attractive price. I must admit I was tempted as I have the
plans for a TailWind that I had once planned on building, but I also
lack the time.
So if anyone is interested or knows of a Tailwind list where someone
might be interested, please contact Ed direct.
His e mail is IFLYRV6N264EB@AOL.Com his cell phone is 205-522-0539

Of course you'd have your tail tied down, wouldn't think of doing the
test without. In fact the tail should be tied low so that the prop has a
much ground clearance as possible. My bad for not mentioning that. I use
a fire hydrant near my hangar and tie a short rope right at ground
level. This keeps the tailwheel on the ground.

any significant incline. I have used the least expensive version on my -6
for over 5 years.

I vote for Mattituck. I also live on Long Island and
have a flying RV-6A out of Bayport. There is a
Mattituck TMX-IO-540 sitting in my garage for a
project that I am helping to build. The support from
Mattituck has been first rate. They offer the free
engine builders class and are right in your backyard.
This is a huge benefit if you need assistance or
parts. You are also able to witness the test running
of YOUR engine if you want.
There will be no sales tax. New York State exempts
airplane parts from sales tax. There was no sales tax
on that 540 mentioned above.
I'm sure Aerosport produces a fine engine, but they
can't offer you the local support that Mattituck can
provide.
If you still need more inforation, then call Mahlon
from Mattituck and arrange to talk to them personally.
They have been known to give builders a tour of their
facility upon request.

I can personally vouch for Ed Banks. He is part of our Tennessee Valley
RV group, an honest fellow, and whatever he tells you about the Tailwind
is the way it is.

On the way back from a trip to Louisiana, I landed at Walker County
Airport (KJFX) Alabama to refuel. While refueling a gentleman came over
and introduced himself as Ed Banks. Mentioned that he had an RV-6 and
invited me to see it. Very nice RV with clean paint lines. While in
his hangar I noticed he had a Tailwind with the wings off which he was
restoring.
Ed stated that he had built new wings, had a newly overhauled O-295,
new Plexiglas all around and had complete the process of recovering.
The cloth needs one more coat of aluminum UV blocker before applying
paint. I believe he also had a new instrument panel blank. He had new
lightweight fiberglass cowling components as well.
Citing insufficient time to complete it, Ed would like to find a buyer
for it as a project. I asked him what he wanted for the project and he
quoted me an attractive price. I must admit I was tempted as I have the
plans for a TailWind that I had once planned on building, but I also
lack the time.
So if anyone is interested or knows of a Tailwind list where someone

Konrad, I guess if the plane for sale was mine, I would want interested
parties to get detailed, first-hand, totally accurate info straight from
me instead of from someone whom I happened to meet on an airport ramp....
Ed Anderson provided Mr. Banks' contact info, I suspect in order to
encourage interested folks to contact the seller directly. But if Ed
Anderson wishes to answer your inquiry, I'm sure he will.

Hi Konrad,
I really don't know anything more about the engine - I fly behind a
Mazda Rotary so the Lycomings other than the 320 and 360 series are a
mystery. I could have had a memory slip and gotten the engine
designation wrong.
As far as the price, I would feel better if you got that from Ed Banks
himself. He struck me as a straight dealer and the suitability of
price is, of course, in the eye of the guy holding the greenbacks {:>).

Ed stated that he had built new wings, had a newly overhauled O-295,

Actually, Ed Banks did not ask me to spread the word. When I found out he
was interested in selling his project, I volunteered to distribute the
news. Not only to the RV list (which might know of someone interested),
but also to the TailWind list. I thought I would be simply helping someone
get rid of a project they did not have time for and to help someone looking
for a reasonable way to get airborne.
I get no $$ out of it. Don't know about Ed Banks, but some folks just
don't feel comfortable trying to use a computer.
I'm not the broker {:>), just the messenger - please don't shoot {:>)

Hi Bobby- appreciate you letting the VAF folks in on it. In their
thread it was mentioned that cold oil or low ambient temps might cause
this. I wrestled with this situation for almost 20 hours hoping it was
just break-in on new equipment- ambient temps were anywhere from 80-45
def.F. No amount of cycling helped and neither did taking off again
immediately after landing, even TAGs.
MT replaced several main components in the unit to fix the problem,
admitting the earlier units hadn't quite been as good as they were
expecting. But let me re-iterate here that they willingly updated the
unit with excellent turn-around time, and the returned unit works very
well after about 4 hours additional flight time. My main beef was not
knowing about this "known" condition prior to initial installation and
flight testing...

I sent Mark a private email and I think he thought it was on the list.
I am sure he wanted everyone to hear his reply :-)

Mark, I copied your message and posted it on VAF forums. Here is the

Hi Bobby- appreciate you letting the VAF folks in on it. In their
thread it was mentioned that cold oil or low ambient temps might cause this.
I wrestled with this situation for almost 20 hours hoping it was just
break-in on new equipment- ambient temps were anywhere from 80-45 def.F. No
amount of cycling helped and neither did taking off again immediately after
landing, even TAGs.
MT replaced several main components in the unit to fix the problem,
admitting the earlier units hadn't quite been as good as they were
expecting. But let me re-iterate here that they willingly updated the unit
with excellent turn-around time, and the returned unit works very well after
about 4 hours additional flight time. My main beef was not knowing about
this "known" condition prior to initial installation and flight testing...
Mark

Dumb question. This thread listed the prop as a BA. Is this a pure Govenor
problem that should show up regardless of the prop used?
>>>
I don't know if it is a result of this governor in combination with any
specific prop- MT may be best equipped to answer that...
