Bill; Great going. My tank mathmatically is in that size. I'm hoping I
don't need a lead tailwheel. Hope you filled it up before the price of gas
went up the last .22 cents a gallon. JohnD

Richard, I'm sorry that I don't have any electronic pictures to post.
However the tank is 34.5 inches wide, 15 inches front to back and about 14
inches deep. It just barely fits, and now I have to figure out how to get
everything else into the fuselage. The fun is only beginning.
And yes, I know time is slipping by...

--> Tailwind-List message posted by: "David Stroud" <davestroud@rogers.com>
I visited a lady the other day who still has a few bits and pieces left from her
late husband's estate here in town.
He was collecting parts and things for a Tailwind. The wings got sold, but she
still has an RV 6 nose wheel, a full
castering item, with a new 5" wheel, tire and tube and she also has the RV6 landing
gear leg to match. Does anyone
know how much these things sell for new?
If this is of interest to anyone, pls. contact me offline. She also has a new MC-10
nose bowl which I think is the preferred
item for a Tailwind. She typically sells things for the ASS price but in Canadian
bucks which roughly translates into a 33%
saving but I think there's a bit more room to haggle. I think I saw a prop hub
extension too..maybe about 4-6" long
which may be required for that nose bowl.

Sounds like a really rectangular cross section.
I've been trying to round the bottom, but capacity suffers.
That extra two inches Jim puts up from makes a big difference..

N393RC is getting her second annual, she has 193 tach hrs on her since
1-21-01. Hard to believe she's two years old and we've flown her that
much, and I've enjoyed every single minute of it. We've had very little
trouble with her, I guess the worst was a tiny leak in the fuel tank,
the Tailwind basically being a fuel tank with an airplane built around
it, it's a BITCH to get out. A minor crack in the landing gear mount is
about the only other trouble worth mentioning.
I hope your Tailwind is as good to you as 3RC has been to me, and I
firmly believe that the best airplane people I've ever met are Tailwind
people.
If O-O is again as much fun as the TW has been, I don't know if I'll be
able to stand it!
