Hey guys I might have found a good deal on a narrow deck 0-320. It's really low
time but has been sitting for 35 years. The engine has been pickled (so I'm told).
If I can get a buy it right I'm thinking about getting it and tearing down
and look at everything real good. It may have the small valves. Now the big
question, if I built a new wing and put an 0-320 in my W-8 what kind of performance
increase should I get????????????? Bob 149

Hey Bob...Your Twind doesn't have the flat bottom wing does it? Just put tips
on it and you should be ready to go. With an 0-320 and the tips, your take off
and climb performance will really be improved as well as the cruise. Go for
it. Jim

Kevin, I started making carbon fiber parts for the
Tailwind last summer. At this point I have molds for
the wheel pants, spinner and back plate, instrument
panel and fuel tanks. I'm working now on a new cowling
mold and should be able to provide new parts by the
end of Feburary.

Small valves can quickly be checked by opening a valve cover and looking for the
7/16" stems.

Or you can reach inside the exhaust port with a 7/16"
open end wrench if the exhaust has been removed.

Bob: Depending some on the prop, you will likely get around 195 MPH top end, and
an easy 170-175 MPH cruise.

Brian....... You simply have got to keep your file size down when you
can...... There was no need for 2 megs worth of text... Always try to
think about those with dial up access... Takes about 25 minutes to download
that last one. BTW, those were perfect examples of what should be sent to
"Photo Share"..

Jim; On welding the aluminum, you will need a cable with a nylon liner.
The aluinum off the wire will fill the regular liner and when it binds up
you have to throw the cable away.. A lot expensive to start with two cables
than to replace two. JohnD

I just picked up an old paper cutter at the local grade school like the ones
we use as kids . The schools have outlawed them for a safety hazard because of
the exposed blade . It works fantastic for cutting aluminum ..032 and smaller
for all the trim and inspection covers on our airplanes .. I'm sure if you go
to your local school and talk to the custodian he could dig up a few !

70" of snow and still snowing this month !

Hey Kevin:
I fly down to Oakdale periodically in my Tailwind or Pitts. Usually down for meeting
with staff on the RR there. Drive when bad weather or when I carpool with
others.

Sorry fellas; Must have been brain dead when I proof read that last
message. It should have been MIG, and it is less expensive to start with 2
liners, one with nylon and the normal one which is coiled steel. The 110
unit have is the Miller Sidekick, which is 20 years old. It does not have
the power to weld aluminum, or the capability to switch to AC, but it works
real well on steel. JohnD
