Happy birthday Jim. Earl is right about not having a Tailwind without you; MANY
THANKS. I'm sure you don't remember but I first met you at OSH one evening,
I think about 1987 or '88 when you had just finished the white and blue one with
the O-300 continental. I had been intending to build an airplane for many
years but like so many others, could only dream. A few years later I met Earl
Luce, and the rest is history. Best wishes, keep building.

It's probably a little late to respond to this one; but I hit on a solution
that probably even SW would like. I grind off the spot welded hex-drive hub
on the back of the filter itself. This gives about a 1/4" spare room to get
the filter on/off. Don't grind the welds themselves or the safety wire tabs
and take care not to score the metal of the actual filter can under the hex.
