Whilst doing the annual permit renewal, we were influenced by this
series of correspondence and had the bottom end of the wing stuts x-ray
tested. Even though they were nearly twenty years old, no problem was
found.

Rick,
I think he's asking for pictures of your arrangement......
Thank you for not accepting everything as done by anyone else, including
my hero, Steve Wittman. His achievevments and contributions are proof of
his genius but there is always room for improvement. NASA would have to
say the same thing about our space shuttles. Your engineering analysis
is invaluable.
I appreciate Jim Stanton's attitude (I haven't seen the correspondence)
but he must be livid about Jim Clements mods!?!?
Are there any published analysis (spelling for plural??) for the W-10?
Any published figures for G limits?
Phil

Rick,
I certainly agree with your philosophy of design and taking
responsibility
for the adequacy of whatever we homebuilders do.
Thanks for your explanation, but I hope you will be kind enough to also
post
a picture of the clevis arrangement for those of us struggling to
visualize
the concept. Considering the number of ancient Tailwinds still being
flown, do
you know if anyone has any knowledge of lift struts that have been
tested
non-destructively and/or cut open to check for internal rust and what
has been
found. Maybe all of us should be taking some positive action on this ?
Your
thoughts?
Jim

Eric... A great affordable alternator is sold by Niagra Air Parts. A nice 40
amp unit with regulator. Installed in my Harmon Rocket and has worked flawlessly
and reliably. Starter? I use a Skytec on the Rocket also but haven't been able
to install one on my Tailwind because of the modified carb system that's in
the way. I have a brand new one sitting on the shelf that I can't use until
I revise my intake arrangement. I will charge you what it cost me and provide
free shipping if you want it. They are the way to go unless you shell out the
big bucks for B&C. B&C's stuff is real nice but honestly doesn't do anything
any better than the above mentioned products.
Where did you find your 0-320? Was it a freshly overhauled unit without some of
the accesories?
Good Luck,
Weav

Subject: [TailwindForum] Starter, alternator, and firewall
Some archived posts refer to Mark Landol as a supplier of an
alternator and starter suitable for the Tailwind. Another post said to get
the
B&C regulator and buy an alternator that fits it. Another said Pep
boys. What are builders doing now? My 0-320 came without an alternator and
starter.
Also, does anyone have a good picture or drawing of their firewall
with components (gascolator, regulator, oil filter, etc.) attached but
engine out of the way?
thanks, Eric Schlanser - in Kalamazooo
