Lots of good discussion and ideas passed around by all who attended.This was the first time I have personally seen so many Tailwinds in one place let alone flying. Coupled with that some exciting fly bys by Fred and Ivan made for a very worth while 1100 mile road trip. Thanks Dave. Graham Mitchell now with hangar and W10-0320 (N12558 reserved)and in final assembly. -----Original Message----- From: David Magaw [mailto:dmagaw@att.net] Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: One more --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "David Magaw" I will be looking forward to meeting him.

I am a newcomer to the list. I have been interested in Tailwinds for years, but haven't done anything about it yet. I have been enjoying lurking here for a while and hearing the talk, checking out the photos, and learning little bits, here and there. Having never had a good look under the skin of a Tailwind, I was unaware of the fuel tank location. I confess that this is a serious "wet-blanket" for me, as I do not like to imagine the results in a front impact situation. My preference would be to carry the fuel in the wings, outside the cockpit area. I can see, by the structure of the wing, that it would not lend itself to wet wings without a complete redesign. I have heard of both all-metal and composite wings for the tailwind, but I do not know if anything that exists has been made available to ordinary folks, in the form of detailed plans. As an A&P and an experienced composite builder, I could be happy building either type of wing, but I'm not really qualified to design up a wing from scratch (nor interested). Can anyone in the group shed some light on these subjects?

Thanks also for taking the time to point out those things you would or would't do the second time around. My Murphy Rebel was pleased to be in your pictures, even if it had to hide behind some unpainted hotrod(which, by the way, had a super looking panel).

Wilson" Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Wet wing --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Thomas P. Wilson" Hi Howard, Callby Wood has plans for metal wings for the Tailwind, and the plans provide for wing tanks. It just so happens that I have both a Tailwind Project and metal wing project at a stage at which wet wings could be built. See the June Sport Aviation classified for more information. The workmanship on the fuselage, which is nearly complete, is excellent. I bought the project when I believed I had my Zodiac sold, ... but did not. I am in Maine, if you have any interest. Harmon Lange gear included and Clement mods were incorporated into the fuselage. Tom Wilson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rogers, C.
