Will post pictures to the Tailwind Forum site soon. Had a great day. Very informal, pretty good turnout, although Fred Weaver showed up in his souped up spam can (AKA rocket) because he can't decide whether his tailwind needs a carburetor or a starter--apparently his new engine case doesn't allow both to fit. Had a couple of forums planned but never did them because we couldn't get everyone in one place--they just milled around here and there. Mostly W-8s showed up. Out of 7 tailwinds, there was only one W-10 (Wilson Werhan's), and it has W-8 wing tips and rounded tail surfaces so it looks like a W-8 in disguise. Missed a few of the other local tailwinds because the owners were working and couldn't make it. Had a number of guys who were building their tailwinds drive in. I think they got some good discussion and ideas for their aircraft. Plan to do it again next year, but thinking about changing the location and perhaps doing a BBQ lunch or something, just for variety. Dave N202Q (finishing baffling, then on to fiberglassing bottom of cowling, painting cowling and hopefully flying again in a few weeks.) ----- Original Message ----- From: von Allmen Guido To: TailwindForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 2:48 AM Subject: [TailwindForum] sunday's fly in We are looking forward for your picture report of todays fly in.
