Thanks to Jim, it's now (to me) even more remarkably efficient and BEAUTIFUL aircraft. Thanks, Jim, and Happy Birthday. I'd be happy to kiss any of your Tailwinds, Probably Fred's, too.

The bottom is fastened by wrapping the side panels around the lower longerons and screwing it to the bottom panel. Pushrods go thru the baggage floor as close to the sides without hitting anything. They are visable from the floor to the upper arms.

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.

I'll use the luan since I have some left over from when I refinished the kitchen (some times honey-doos pay off). -Mike > Time: 04:58:54 PM PST US > From: "Jim and Donna Clement" <168x@merr.com> > Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Floor material > > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Jim and Donna Clement" <168x@merr.com> > > Mike, Aluminum will require some type of stiffening.

Met the Owner but cannot remember his name. Opened the hangar for me but had to go so asked me to lockup when I was through looking. Tailwind people are wonderful trusting people. Huntersville is north of Charlotte on I77 bring a sectional the airport is a bear to find. Good Luck Ken
