--> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Thomas P. Wilson" <twilson@clinic.net>
Hello All,
I am new to the list and, honestly, have subscribed primarily to offer my project
for sale. Long story, but I ended up with two projects and really cannot
justify that. I have a Zodiac which I believed was sold when the Tailwind project
became available and was simply too good to pass up. The basic fuselage
structure is nearly complete with the tail feathers pretty much done, the push-pull
tube installed and control stick built. The project comes with the tailwheel
assembly and also a set of Harmon Lange landing gear, rudder pedals are built
and brake master cylinders are included. Additional material is included
for the motor mount (no work on that yet). I have the updated plans and also had
previously been fascinated by Callby Wood's metal wing plans and have started
building same. Many of the needed materials are on hand. I have cut the main
spar extrusions to basic size but the taper is yet to be cut. I have the heavy
AL for the root doublers, with on cut to size. Rib form blocks are made and
AL faced. I have made ribs for one wing and have cut out the main rib blanks
for the other. The spar webs are sheared to size and so is one of the .032 wing
skins. I used 2024 T-3 for all except the outer wing skins, as to which the
designer says 6061 T-6 will be acceptable. I have the 4130 tubing for the ailerons/flaps
and have cut it to length. Have also cut the tubing for the "hinges"
and both rear spars and bent. The rear spars are 8' long and require splicing
to make the required 9'4" (approx.) overall length, just as the original required.
Those extensions are already bent, and I have blanks for the hinge doublers.
I am asking essentially my out of pocket with no consideration for labor,
and, at present, have no interest in "splitting" the project up - that is I
need to sell fuselage and accessories and wing project at one time. I am asking
$4,000.00 (U.S.) and am located in Georgetown, Maine (midcoast area). When I
inspected the fuselage, I was accompanied by Grady Sharpe, my friend and Chapter
87 technical counselor of long standing. He agreed with me that the workmanship
was excellent. He is willing to talk with any seriously interested party
to confirm this observation. The fuselage incorporates the "Clement" mods. Oh
yes, the seats and flap handle are also made. I transported his project on the
rear of a pick up truck with an 8' bed and the tailgate lowered. I "sticks out"
4-5' and I simply flagged it for transport. This message is being posted at
7:35 A.M. on Saturday and we are about to leave for the day (to celebrate father-in-laws
90th birthday) but I will respond to inquiries upon my return. Telephone
inquiries are welcome during reasonable hours (east coast) at 207 371-2713.
Thank you for reading this lengthy diatribe. Tom Wilson
