Oh Richard... You just had to go there. hahahaha.. Just remember, an 0-320
on a W10 is a match made in heaven. They simply are the right weight/power
for a real nice plane. The 0-320 Lyc is lighter by some 40 pounds(as I
recall) than an 0-300 Continental installation. No one seems to think that
the 0-300 is too heavy..... Wait until Moldenhauer flies his W10 with the
0-320. We will finally have a very good report on the differences as he and
Jim C have been making the changeover from the 0-300 to the 0-320. He will
have lighter weight and a healthier dose of power. There will probably be a
significant reduction in take off distance coupled with higher climb rate
and higher cruise speed too.
I guess I got off track just a little.. The 0-320 is just a little heavy
when you try to mount it on a W8. That's not saying that it hasn't been done
but the W8 is just too short and has too small of stab area to feel good.
The W10 has a longer tail moment and more stab area and the feel is Myty
Fine.....
Happy New Year to all....

We shall see how a W-8 with O-320 that has W-10 sized tailfeathers works in

Dave, already tried that, flies just like a W10. TW checkout pilot Fred flew
it, he may have a comment or two. Jim

Fred et al;
I'm still considering increasing the size of the stab on my W-8. Do you
think an O-235 is light enough to leave the tail-feathers stock?

Just my opinion, but Jim C, Fred and I think others, recommended when I was
building my W-8, to go with the W-10 tail feathers, and I think that was a
very smart thing to do. I made my elevator ends rounded per W-8 style (more
work but looks better), and the stab bolt is about 3" behind the leading
edge (bolts through from inside the fuse to a locking nutplate in the stab,
then bolt head is safety wired). My elevators are balanced. My plane has a
very nice feel to it both flying and landing, however, I think that the
longer W-10 fuselage allows for a little less decalage of the stab than my
W-8 with the shorter fuselage. Nice thing, now that I am upgrading my O-235
to and O-320, won't have to worry about smaller stab.
My opinion only FWIW.

Cy
The W-9 that you are inquiring about was soon changed back to a W-10 and a
0-300 replaced the 0-320. he sold the plane to someone in Texas which then
went to N. Carolina. Or at least that is what I was told.

Mac Kardy ad it when he passed away.
It had an O-300 in it then, and tail gear.
Lost track of it after that.
One report said it went to Hawaii.

Bill, How were you going to increase the size? Length or cordwise. You might
get by with just adding the three inch counterbalance ends on the elevators
like the W10. The increase in size of the W10 is mostly the cord
dimensions.
The O320 Tailwind Cy was referring to was a trigear with a constant speed.
It was later changed to a taildragger with the O300 Cont. This was the last
TW Steve built and was mostly W8. The W10 came along in about 1976 or 77.
That is when the Baraboo bunch started building the first W10s. The plans at
that time were incomplete and Steve gave us W8 plans with W10 dimensions
written in. Jerry Coughlin was the first to finish and I was next. Jerry's
TW is now owned by Skip Lovell ar Fort Bragg, CA and mine is owned by Al
Moldenhauer at New Glarus, WI. He is converting it to a O320. Jerome
Thiesson was the third to finish and was later sold to Fred.

| Subject: | Fuel tank filler |
--> Tailwind-List message posted by: "William Bernard" <billbernard@worldnet.att.net>
This is mainly a question for Jim Clement, but anyone is welcome to respond.
I'm in the process of buiding the fuel tank, using Jim C's article in the
Tailwind Times as a guide. He suggests welding a 2" piece of aluminum tubing
onto the cap flange.
I got the specified flange and cap assembly and when the 2 inch tubing is
inserted into the flange for welding, the fuel cap projects above the top of
the flange by about 1/4". I suspect that the 2" aluminum extension acts as a
stop to keep the top of the fuel cap flush with the outside of the
windshield. Is this correct? Is the hole in the windshield chamfered to
match the angle of the fuel cap, and if so, how does one go about it,
without cracking the windshield?
Also, what sort of sealant is used between the flange and the windshield?
Thanks for the help
Bill
