Dear Lister,
Please read over the Tailwind-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Tailwind-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:

Thank you,

******************************************************************************
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.

Just got back from the first flight in N40WB. The event lasted about 15 minutes.
I wish I could say that it flew hands off, but it didn't. It was left wing heavy
and nose heavy. Things were controllable but I decided against too much investigation
of the flight envelope with the out of trim condition.
VERY PRELIMINARY estimate of speed is 155 mph at 23" mp and 2450 rpm.
It really was fun and a blast.
Just had to let somebody know.
Bill

Great news Bill!
The pitch condition is fairly easy to resolve but the wing heaviness can take
a few minutes. Depending on how heavy it felt, I generally start by making sure
the flaps line up again after you have flown it. If the entire trailing edge
is lined up from left to right, make sure that the bottom camber is lined up
with the lower camber of the airfoil. All too often, I've seen where the guys
sorta split the difference and this results in a "Pitch Down" feel/condition.
By raising both flaps and ailerons about an 1/8 to 3/16", it allows the stab to
relax a little. This improves the speed more than you think too.. A trim wedge
underneath the right aileron will allow you to comfortably go fly some more
to check out the new trailedge position along with any stab change you might
have done at the same time. It's always better to trim an aileron up from the
bottom than visa/versa..
I'm sure your weekend will be consumed with trim flights and zooming along. Have
fun, and enjoy the process,
Weav
