It seems that since I reworked my cowl and air box, my 0320-A2B doesn't want to run right. everything is normal until I rotate. Max rpm in climb at 100 mph is only 2150 instead of 2400. I did a full power runup with the tail tied down and got 2350 static at full throttle, same as it's always been! I drained the auto fuel and filled it with 100LL which seemed to help but it is still not running right. Anyone have any info on the airscoop inlet size for this engine, pictures of the airbox to match the Madden cowl? And what about the Aerocarb the Sonex people are selling http://www.aeroconversions.com (Aerocarb)? ===== BRIAN ALLEY (BKA) Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:22:11 PM PST US From: "Earl Luce" Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Carberation --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Earl Luce" Brian Drain the fuel out of the lower back side of the carb.

He needs the money. I need the plans but I don't want to pay if they are not a full set. Can anyone help confirm that I have a full set? Does anyone care?

Do they give the W-8 or W-10? I am looking to build a W-8. I have the plan number written right on the plan and probably by Steve Wittman himself. I also have a copy of Experimenter from about 1956 or so that I picked up at Oshkosh for 5 bucks in the used and unwanted rack at the EAA Library. It had a tailwind on the cover. After I took it home, a buddy of mine was looking at it and pointed out that the address on the other side of the cover was to Steve Wittman! I have Wittman's copy of the Experimenter with his ship on it!
