I would like to highlight the above from George's post, and one more from
the list guidelines that he didn't quote:
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
In addition to archive considerations, please keep in mind that, when you
don't trim all the extraneous stuff from the post you're replying to, it
makes it quite difficult for those of us on digest mode to read the list.
A few lines of new message, followed by pages & pages of quoted text and
the message footer repeated over & over before one comes to the next
message, does not make for a good reading experience. Those of us on
digest mode will be forever grateful if you trim everything that's not
relevant to your reply.

Thanks for the number Lou!.... I heard from Wally Critchlow too...
that guy is heading for Florida for the winter. I could feel his
"stress" from here. hahaha...
BTW, I think Jerry is having more fun with your airplane than the
previous owner... I think someone got it that truly appreciates the
effort that went into building it.. Maybe you should go fly with Jerry
and get him used to working with the charts while he is airborne. :)
How far apart are you two anyway?
I'm off to the airport... Have to put the spinner back on the Tailwind.
The sky is beautiful and I just know I'm going to get some of it later
this afternoon..
The New Year is almost here.... Is everyone ready?
Yeeeehaaaaaaa!
Weav
I guess this is where I'm supposed to say.... do not archive ?

| Subject: | Hasenbalg's Wittman Tailwind W8 |
Hoping this picture comes out at least 2" X 3"... Anyway, it's Russ
Hasenbalg's W8 which won an Award at Oshkosh a few years ago for
Outstanding Restoration or something like that. Maybe Danner could get
Russ to write up some of the nice features and share some pictures of
the interior etc.. It was a special airplane and the people that are
thinking about building with smaller engines should have the info on
it. I can't emphasize enough....it was a REAL nice airplane. Light,
straight, fast, comfortable, etc etc... A real Jewel.
I know that during the restoration process, Russ added W10 tips to the
airplane which allowed it to climb better and fly faster too. Power was
a Continental C90. This was a real nice airplane but Russ liked to have
too much fun with it.... It's a great story and one I will let Russ
tell you ......or else he will have to give me permission..hahahaha...
Let's just say, it's not a good thing to chase ice fishermen while it
is snowing.. the horizon sorta goes away and one could end up sliding
all over the place on a Iced over lake.... get it? Now you all know
why Russ has a nice newly built W10 Trike. Weav

RJ,
Be careful measuring down from top longeron , I know a guy who had a
real bad experience doing just that . Get the fuselage level and do the same
with the stab or O degrees .

| Subject: | Re: Got the Wings on |
Fred, I adapted a crossover system I had previously used on my Mustang II. Both
pipes cross in front of the oil sump but then turn downward and exit the cowling
sort of like on the later Cherokees.
I have not had good experience with long tail pipes in the cowling and I also like
to get the heat out as quickly as possible. This system has been used for
a couple hundred hours and didn't have a bit of problem.

Dennis, Yes it's located at SPI. You're also correct in that there is no fuel in
the wings and no tapered tips. I use a modified T-18 tip from ACS.
If I knew what I know now, I would have built my own and they probably would have
had a slight taper to them. But I already had the T-18 tips and so used them.
Come on down whenever. I'm at the airport most days. Just let me know when.

RJ, I'm not sure. I think that it is about an inch from the bolt hole to the
top of the top longeron, but it's been a while since I worked on that end of
the plane.
I'm hoping that this works out about right, but I won't know until after I
fly it.

| Subject: | Re: Tailwind Exhaust |
I thought it looked like it was coming sort of steeply downward. So
the exhaust will stick down and out thru a hole or two in the bottom
cowling? Well ahead of the firewall?

Bill, I measured my trike with a smart level and this is what it trike
reads.
Horizontal stab, measured at the outboard tip, inboard of the elevator arm.
1.5 degrees down in front.
Bottom of root rib, 1.2 degrees down at front.
Bottom longeron, 1.5 degrees down at front. This might vary as the
sheetmetal prevented getting on the longeron itself.
The airplane was sitting on the hanger floor with about a half tank of gas.
If you fly it without the wheel pants, the drag of the wheels will pull the
nose down quite a bit more than expected. Jim C
