I put my battery behind the right seat--to help balance with single pilot on
the left. I have upright sticks (under the leg) and PTT is mounted in a
little turned aluminum button that fits into the end of the stick. Make
sure you use a good button, my first one turned intermittant in about 3
flights.

Correction: The battery is behind the passenger seat. I'm dyslexic. Just
wondering what folks did for the mount.
Thanks for your help!

After ripping out my PTT wire getting in to my TW one stop before Oshkosh
button in my panel in the upper left corner. I did so because I had a hole
to fill from a primer I decided against. It turns out that my temporary fix
was a permanent one. I love it , no wires to trip over and best of all when
you are coming in the pattern in rough air you place you hand on top of the
panel to hold on and push with your thumb!

There are only 2 rules about Tailwinds that I know of:
Rule #1 when building/ dreaming about building a tailwind - don't listen to
anything Fred Weaver has to say. Fred probably has more experience in cross
country trips and coast to coast trips than anyone I know. Its just too
frustrating listening to him to be of any value. 'Well this morning I flew
up to Boise for lunch - it took over 2 hours each way, then this afternoon,
I had to meet a couple of guys down at Hemet' is pretty common. Very
frustrating for us wannabees.
Rule #2
Never go flying with Fred. I made the mistake of doing it twice. The first
time was in his 0300 powered White/Blue Beast. The nicest handling plane I
had ever flown. I have quite a but of time in old biplanes, and old radial
engined machines (Cessna 195, Twin Beech) as well as a bunch if time in
Luscombes etc, but this Tailwind was the most nimble plane I had ever been
in. I flipped it over 90degrees into a 180 degree turn to the left, it was
descending at 1000fpm. I applied top (right) rudder. The plane started
climbing at 600 fpm. There were only two words I could think of. (No, not
the two you are thinking of).
The other flight was worse. The White/Read Beast with 180hp fixed pitch.
We took off out of Reid one friday afternoon, lightly loaded. Fred climbed
out at over 2000fpm doing barrel rolls. No Fair!! He really knows how to
torture a guy. We leveled off at 3000ft and pulled back the power. 21" at
2280rpm - the airspeed indicator showed 185mph. This plane handled even
better than the White/Blue one. The same two words were floating round in my
head. We landed. Fred looked me and said - well what do you think. My
vocabulary had been reduced to two words, and they finally came out.. "Want
One!!"
A few years ago I was thinking about building an RV6 (got as far as building
the tail). There was a big group of RV builders over at Livermore. They were
divided into 2 groups, those who had 200hp and constant speed props, and
those who wished they had, because they had flown an RV with 200hp and
constant speed. Same applies to this group.
A corvair engine is probably a good choice for a Tailwind, so is a Buick or
a Subaru. Things will go well, till you fly with Fred. Your vocabulary will
be reduced to two words, as mine has been. You have been warned.
Meryy christmas to all..

--> Tailwind-List message posted by: George Turner <tailwind222@yahoo.com>
Dave: I had the same oil filter problem. I built a square recess into my fuel
tank and matching recess in the firewall. Another idea is to use an aluminum
kitchen bowl in the tank and a stainless steel bowl in the firewall. If you
use a remote location be sure that all the fittings and hoses are safe........my
buddy had a problem with a fitting and lost all his oil on his long eze.......just
before he landed......no damage to the engine. The more stuff, the more
potential for a problem.
On my present Tailwind, 0320E3D Lyc. again....the builder extended the engine mount
enuf......works fine......but moves the cg forward a little.

All,
I've been working on the engine. I have Jerry Hey's Dynofocal engine mount.
Seems real tight to the fire wall. I have an o-320 E2D that came with a spin
on oil filter. It does not have clearance to the firewall. I also got an
airwolf remote, but the hose fittings run into the clearance problem as well.
What should I do:
1. Put on an old oil screen? (Does anyone have one?)
2. Build a new engine mount?
3. Remake the gas tank and firewall so I have a pocket.
4. ????
Happy Holidays!

Dave, I tried several locations for the Air Wolf
remote oil filter, finally settled on left upper area
of the firewall with a 90 degree mount and 2 45 degree
oil line fittings. The 90 degree, (vertical), position
should make it less messy changing filters. The mount
came with the filter conversion from Air Wolf. RJ

So Russ..... Are you saying you had way too much fun? hahhahaha...
To the rest of the group: Poor ole Russ has been shopping for a Tailwind
ever since he got his rides. The funny thing is, he has driven up the
west coast to Washington state and all the way down to Arizona looking
at projects for sale and he still hasn't bitten the bullet. No wonder
he's frustrated :) Flying that 195 or the Beech just costs too
much. Time to get with the program and pick up a nice "Flying"
Tailwind. Does anyone know if Bill See still has his project for sale?
Happy Holidays to all.....

For those of you responding to a message you can
delete the tag along stuff by left clicking on the

Dave, the 0-320 engine mount I build is designed to place the
machined part of the rear case 9 inches from the fire wall assuming
that the bushing in the fuselage sticks out from the fire wall 5/16
inch. It seems to me you could use a spacer-bushing to move the
engine mount (and gear legs) forward just a bit to gain more space.
The battery could be moved back to compensate the c.g. if necessary.
I suspect that there is a some tolerance to work with when installing
the 0-320 as it is lighter than the 0-360 which is installed same
distance from the fire wall. The above is guess work on my
part. Jim or Rick can correct me if I am wrong. I do know that
you will not have any C.G. issues with the 0-320 at the 9 inch
location. Regards, Jerry

Dave: My recess in the firewall to be able to remove the filter was around three
and a half inches I recall. I believe the engine mount was as to plans.
