He built a very nice Continental 0-300 powered W-10, NX34JD. Eric Schlanser - Kalamazoo, MI DENNIS VEST wrote: Anyone out there have an O300 Clement cowling? The original mold is gone, I would like to use one as a starting point for a new cowl for my Tailwind. I'm also looking for an aluminum cooling plenum off a tightly cowled 0200. I just received an EFIS from Dynon Avionics, it's a beautiful unit, I would like to hear from anyone who has installed one, it requires the use of a special serial port cable from Radio Shack and calibration from a laptop. Thanks Dennis Vest --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:53:55 AM PST US From: Eric Schlanser Subject: Tailwind-List: Prop extension I would appreciate information about the dimensions for a prop extension for a Lycoming 0-320 with the Madden/Clement/Alley type cowl. I think it's 6 inches long but am not certain. I need the dimensions for material, wall thickness, shape, etc. The plans don't provide the information. I can have a local machinist make it if I have the dimensions.

There are a couple of parts that you just don't buy from your "Local Guy".... One of them is the prop Extension. Get a Saber Mfg'd unit. I'm sure Jim has their number and the length is 4 inches (I think). Judy Saber has done a Great job of making these for all the Long EZ/ Vari Eze people, the racing community, RV's, etc etc.... Don't get me wrong.... Our local guys can certainly do the machining IF they have the right dimensions BUT, there are lot's of details besides the Extension itself to deal with. Drive Lugs properly installed, smooth inside radii, AND a GREAT reliability record. Enough of my yickity yack... I'm sure Jim will advise the same..

I bought one from Saber a year or so ago...top quality all the way around. If you're going to use the same spinner stabilizer that Jim C. uses, be sure you tell him that you're a Tailwind builder and you want the 3/4 hole in the extension and crush plate. http://www.geocities.com/sabermfg/ Judy is no longer involved with the company but the guy who owns it now retired from his job as maintenace/shop supervisor for Commanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant near Glen Rose Texas....he knows his way around a lathe.

It looks like it has the old flat bottomed wings, but perhaps with tapered tips. It also looks like it has the old rattray cowl, similar to what I used on my W-8. Had the same problem I did with not enough room to enclose the exhaust pipes. I cut out and reglassed the bottom of mine, and later went with the RV intake scoop.
