If you go with aluminum are you using stiffeners? Thanks, Mike Wilson ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:11:42 AM PST US From: "David Magaw" Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Floor material --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "David Magaw" Aluminum foot board in cabin (with lightening holes in area that feet don't rest in), and fabric baggage area stiffened with aluminum tubing in sleeves in bottom. Very light and functional, but not an award winning interior.

I've been using 1/4" luan plywood from the local lumber yard. It measures a short 1/4" and is fairly light. I think it is used for underlayment over plywood floors in house construction.

Sounds too heavy for a W-10 though. Eric - in soggy Michigan -Hi Group, An alternate engine I might consider is the Continental IO 360. Any comments pro or con?- Thanks.

One of the things I notice is that there are tabs for the rear edge of the aluninum side-panels (boot cowls???) but no tabs for the top, front, or bottom. How is this aluminum fastened? Number 2; do the pushrods for the flaps and ailerons go up alongside(outside) the baggage shelf and sides, or do they go thru the baggage area? Thanks in advance. Bill Newkirk Fresno,CA ________________________________ Message 17 ____________________________________ Time: 11:53:44 PM PST US Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Boot cowl fasteners From: Fred Weaver --> Tailwind-List message posted by: Fred Weaver Bill.... Jim fastens the front of the aluminum with the same screws that secure the cowl. The forward portion of the bottom is similar but in the center there are some dedicated screws holding the aluminum that have nothing to do with the cowl. The top of the aluminum is secured with screws going into the channel thing that supports the side windows. Am I making any sense? Gotta break out the camera... The pushrods go up and down very close to the fuselage side. They are located between the baggage area and the side, Not thru the baggage thingy... Clear as mud, eh?
