******************************************************************************
Tailwind-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Tailwind-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Tailwind-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Tailwind-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Tailwind-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- 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.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- 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!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.

Paul, The EIS is awsome! The first thing I discovered
after I installed the unit was a 150 deg. difference
in cylinder temp between the front and rear cylinders.
I installed baffel plates in front of the front
cylinders and now the temps are within 15 deg. across
all cylinders. The second thing I discovered was that
with carb heat applied, there is no change in
induction air temperature. I pull carb heat from
inside the cowl close to the exhaust crossover but get
no heat. I'm planning to install a muff over the pipes
and plum that into the airbox. The cruise monotor page
is the page I use the most. At altitude, I lean with
the lean find page and set that monitor point. Then
watch for any change in EGT. This page also displays
RPM,MAP,oil temp,oil pres,and fuel flow. You can
select a bar graph or digital display of EGT and CHT.
Your going to love flying with the EIS!!!

Brian:
Tnx for the great report on the EIS. I have been thinking in a similar
fashion and have eliminated all my steam gauges for the EIS, Dynon EFIS, and a
1000
Lowrance so now I have room for a glovebox and saved 22 lbs and paid for over
1/2 of it by selling the old stuff on EBay.
Your comments on the carb heat I found interesting. I put a Vans carb heat
pickup on my crossover last summer and had little if any drop and found that
with the EIS I has only a 20 degree drop so have incorporated a carb heat muff
into the new exhaust system. Too much snow in front of the door of the
polebarn to drag the plane outside and see how much difference there is. Come
on
Spring!

Paul, Way cool!!! I would love to upgrade to an EFIS
system. I'll deffinately go that route in my next
Tailwind. I have several other ideas to incorporate as
well. BTW, my airbox is also a modified RV unit. Would
love to see pictures.

I'm lettin' the cat outa the bag now.... I'm ordering the Grand Rapids
EFIS for my Tailwind. Upgrading to the full color engine monitor along with
all that solid state attitude info. I believe the price is right for the
amount of info that is displayed. Will have plenty of fine instruments for
sale soon......

I started to make mine a folding wing but, gave it up.
I made fittings so the wing would pivot around the
rear spar but, after folding it a few times with the
wings skinned and fuselage uncovered, I decided
pivoting around the rear spar would be putting a lot
of stress on those fittings doing it time after time.
I was being very careful folding it in an enclosed
hangar where avoiding excessive stress was easy to
control. Doing it repeatedly in anything other than
still air could be another matter. The fittings were
substantially like the plans for the wing spar, and a
bolt fitting for the pivot in the fuselage.
I believe pivoting around the front spar, as Eut did,
would be better as it is much stronger.
Consumed a lot of time, but I guess I learned a lot.
