Hey George! All your stuff sounds just like Caleeforneeia......except our
temps are a little lower. Haven't felt an earthquake in years. Always
thought they were a good time. Wishin' it would rain some more, no mudslides
and I guess since the fires in SOUTHERN California went away, we haven't
even had a good weenie roast.
BTW, I have noticed the same delay in getting mail to the forum... Frankly,
it's pissing me off...........
Yeeeeehaaaaaa,
Weav
Flying lots too..... I expect to see lots of hours on your tach when I
visit.....

Back in the 30's, Wittman switched engines on the "Chief". The
original engine was an American Cirrus of about 100HP. He replaced it
with a Cirrus Hermes of 115HP. The Hermes engine ended up in my dad's
barn for years and before it was put on display at EAA I had the task of
cleaning it up. The engine has a long RECTANGULAR intake manifold and I
asked Steve why. He told me that he originally had built a round
manifold but when he ran the engine it wouldn't it wouldn't pull as much
rpm as with the smaller engine. He hastily built the rectangular one
you can see today and it worked. My opinion is that the round intake
made the air flow too straight causing the fuel to drop out of
atomization. Note the shape of virtually any automotive intake port, it
is rectangular. Using the same logic on exhaust manifold, leads me to
believe round pipes will exit the gases the easiest. Changing the shape
of the outlet will change the back pressure and the tone. The trick is
to reduce the db without reducing the hp.

Fred...I too would rather see the group use the Matronics list. The search engine
is way better. The picture posting is the only advantage and now yahoo dumps
those from the archive. So as far as I am concerned, matronics is as good on
pictures too. Eric - sending Matt a contribution as soon as I can
do not archive

Eric.....I posted this as somewhat of a joke since I like to pick on you but
the truth is... A LOT of the guys that use this list the most, OR SHOULD
don't give Matt a dime. I once had to go over to Matt's house to look at his
RV project. I had an opportunity to see firsthand all the equipment it takes
to do the job. Everyone would be amazed at the level of complexity and high
quality of the equipment it takes to make these lists happen. Then, add to
that all the newer software that continues to enhance the level of security
and features like the new chat thing. The Matronics archives are definitely
easier to browse than Fricken Yahoo...AND WITHOUT ALL THOSE DAMN BANNERS on
EVERY SINGLE POST. The only feature that the Forum has that we all seem to
like is the ability to attach a photo to an email post. I doubt that will
ever change with Matronics' lists but if we just practiced sending photos to
the fileshare thing we would get good at it AND they would never leave the
archives.
I guess this post got a little long but I have to say that since we got on
Yahoo Groups, my level of spam has exploded. I also noticed that Yahoo at
will, changed my personal account settings (along with others) and that we
need to be vigilant with what they do with our settings. I'm sick and tired
of ALL the damn spam.
So, in closing my little rant session here........ I would just like to
encourage all of our Tailwind listers to take a minute and do a paypal thing
for 10 or 20 bucks to Matronics... It's fricken painless....

Hi Jim,
You would be proud, we now have a Culvers in my town, Rockwall Tx. My wife insisted

the long way across Texas you can be at home in Culvers here in the good ole lone
star state !
Oh yea the rest of you keep working on the Tailwinds.

Wisconsin... What do I like about Culvers? Those folks just have the nicest
people working for them, and they have a spotless facility and finally, I don't

fricken Baraboo pilots have it made. They are down there almost every day
at lunch hour..... We only get to partake a few days out of each year. I guess
that way, we don't get so jaded...hahhhahhaha.. Jim C is right though...and

I think this is a great idea Dave. It will help support the Baraboo Gang and also
let corporate/Culvers know what is going on nationwide with these flying guys
to support their franchise. I can hardly wait to read what Rick C has to say....or
Luc if he wakes up long enough to respond..
Jerry doesn't count.... he lives out there now. :)

we'll be able to reserve the place for a day. (after a proper shit shoot at Jim"s

Even a W8 can limp into DLL with low fuel...........and the pilot will still get
a ride to Culvers for some chow. That guy could even have a subaru and get a
ride. Or, big ass square tubing or worse yet, a reduction drive working with
a Corvair.... And they would still get a ride into town for lunch. I remember
when an acquaintance of mine (scared to say a friend, hahhahhaha) flew into
Baraboo with a big Yellow High wing shitbox and the guys took him into town(Culvers)
for a burger... Seems like he said he was from the "Bay Area" and Jim
started probing...... Sure enough, he figured out who Barry was... hahahhahhaha....
The rest of the story is out there for Jim.
I think Culvers holds some real interesting history somewhere within it's walls......
Wishin' I had a cheeseburger.........
