One thing you got right. I am going to keep the W8. And I will be
flying it up to Baraboo next summer. I love this airplane. On the
other hand, what head aches are you talking about? That rotary project
makes me feel gooood! Now that I have a good flying TW, the pressure
to get finished and into the air is off. The W-8 makes the W-10
possible. Jerry

I got ten responses from my survey. four for Yahoo, two for Matronics
and four said both. I vote for both but I am not going to double
post after this message. I will use which ever one the thread is
started on. I was never bothered by the ads on Yahoo. Just scroll
past them. Nor do I recall Yahoo ever screwing up. I don't want
to give up a good thing. I will use Matronics greatfully, but I will
not be sending them any money. Jerry

Jerry and everyone: I agree with your view, using both lists and not double posting,
and just following the thread. That way we we all have access to every
post if we desire as we can all subscribe to both, and eliminating double posting
is great, otherwise, the second post is like somewhat like getting useless
junk mail.
Even tho Matt has enabled the Tailwind LIst to do a lot more with pictures etc.
I think we should respect His suggestions when we use it, whereas in the Yahoo
Forum, we can be more frivolus? as yahoo doesn't seem to have many rules.
So with the more relevant meaningful messages pertaining to Tailwind stuff, Matronics
is great. For talking about pig roasts, and deluxe double cheese bacon
burgers, and just fun flying stuff we should use Yahoo. There were 30 posts
just on Culvers burgers! Many mine. Yahoo stuff. We should all review the Matronics
suggestions and respect them. Click on the site below, but here is a
portion of it:
THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.

Today, I flew north west in crystal clear weather. Passed over
Notre Dame, got to within a stones throw of Lake Michigan and then,
just outside of the Chicago TCA did a 180 and flew back to the
airport. I think it would work out to about 175 miles altogether. I
was at 4500 AGL indicating around 145/155 mph most of the time and
thanks to Lou's ingenious use of a slender little bungy that puts a
little back pressure on the stick, much of the trip was hands off. I
was parked in front of the hanger an hour and a half after taking off.
I seem to be burning around 6 gpm despite pushing the throttle in a
bit. Cold weather helps everything. I promise not to bore everyone
with every little flight but right now these flights are big deals to
me after so many years of not flying anything let alone a Tailwind. It
is even better than I imagined. Jerry

Just keep them coming Jerry.... I gotta tell you, it's not that much
farther to fly on up to Baraboo. Are you getting better with the Charts?
Does that airplane have mode C for the transponder? Chicago is fairly
easy to get past and then it's wide open all the way up to Oshkosh or
Fondulac or Baraboo or or or..... Get out there and waste some gas!
And keep letting us know just exactly how much fun you are really
having so the builders will continue to be enthused and to know just
why it is they are building.
BTW, on your fuel consumption... Is that gallons per minute? OR
Gallons per mile? You might want to lean it out just a tad...

Why is it I never notice those errors until after I have pushed the
send button. As far as the charts are concerned, I study them
before taking off but I don't refer to them in the air often. Me in
the Tailwind cockpit with an opened chart--that is a comedy routine.
Mode C, yes. Jerry

Now Jerry.... You gotta get better at that. You need to be able to
hang in there during the flight with your charts so you can make sure
that the GPS is telling you the truth(When you get one)... Of course
it's usually the other way around.. The GPS helps you find yourself on
the chart. :)

--> Tailwind-List message posted by: RJ <gatsby8898@yahoo.com>
Looks like an exciting time, Bill. What incidence is
your stabilizer set at? Looks about zero degrees. I'm
setting mine about a degree down, (tailwheel version).
I measured some W-10s at Baraboo, most are 1" to 1
1/2" from bolt hole to top of longeron. Just curious.

George that is a grand idea. I like it a lot.............Bob 149
Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Which List?
Jerry and everyone: I agree with your view, using both lists and not double posting,
and just following the thread.That way we we all have access to every post
if we desire as we can all subscribe to both, and eliminating double posting
is great, otherwise, the second post is like somewhat like getting useless junk
mail.
Even tho Matt has enabled the Tailwind LIst to do a lot more with pictures etc.
I think we should respect His suggestions when we use it, whereas in the Yahoo
Forum, we can be more frivolus? as yahoo doesn't seem to have many rules.
So with the more relevant meaningful messages pertaining to Tailwind stuff, Matronics
is great.For talking about pig roasts, and deluxe double cheese bacon burgers,
and just fun flying stuff we should use Yahoo.There were 30 posts just
on Culvers burgers! Many mine. Yahoo stuff.We should all review the Matronics
suggestions and respect them.Click on the site below, but here is a portion of
it:
THINK carefully before you write.Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone.If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate.Try to be concise and
terse in your posts.Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.

I got ten responses from my survey. four for Yahoo, two for Matronics
and four said both. I vote for both but I am not going to double
post after this message. I will use which ever one the thread is
started on. I was never bothered by the ads on Yahoo. Just scroll
past them. Nor do I recall Yahoo ever screwing up. I don't want
to give up a good thing. I will use Matronics greatfully, but I will
not be sending them any money. Jerry

Just got this shot from Ted Rosario.. He has my old W8 in restoration
phase. This is a picture with the stick mostly out of the way so you
can see the patch over the tube, then the gusset supports on each side
of the bushing. Danny Joe did a good job of sketching this up and now
you can see what was really there.

PS.. Low last night was 21.2 degrees.. it's only 6 pm and already 31
degrees and dropping... The fire is blazing...
