If I have any rebate coming--use it to get the rotary going. I have two to make into one when time permits. R.

Tailwind Times subscription renewals are down nearly 60 percent. I put this down to the extraordinary usefulness and immediacy of the internet. It is a much better tool for communication than a paper newsletter published four times a year. The paper newsletter, expensive, labor intensive, slow, and with limited room for content, is a dinosaur in this age of instant communication. >From a personal stand point, I hate to see the Tailwind Times come to an end. I did not accomplish my personal goal of covering every aspect of TW construction. But we did cover a lot and we filled a need for good information before the internet became the efficient medium it now is. The Tailwind Times was published quarterly for four years with a little delay while we moved, a total of sixteen issues. Joy will miss putting out the newsletter. She took pride and pleasure in making a beautiful magazine. We have some funds on hand that came from recent subscriptions. They will be returned as soon as possible. I am committed to clearing the books and mailing back all the refunds this year. I will mail about 25 checks each month. Please be patient, See you on the internet, Jerry ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:37:11 AM PST US From: IslPilot@aol.com Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Tailwind Times Jerry: Now you have me worried that might not sent you a renewal and might be part of the low resubscribe rate......Thank you and Joy for your efforts, the Tailwind Times has been one of the major selling points for the proliferation of the design. I think a summary or printing of all the back issues into one Tailwind Manual would be a consistent seller for years to come. Or better yet as Josh has recommended organized into a builders manual. Look forward to seeing all sorts of progress on your own aircraft with all the extra free time. Looking forward to you passing me with that rotary.

I respect your decision if it is based on financial facts only, but I disagree that the internet has become a more useful source of info and inspiration than the Tailwind Times. We need both for a more totally helpful resource. What say we do a poll by internet to determine how many on this list (& Yahoo) have never seen or known of the Tailwind Times and its value to builders and owners? Please keep any refund due me and apply it to the above thought or if not (at your discretion) apply it to your personal research and pursuit of advances benefiting the Tailwind design, for current plus future builders. Regardless, thank you both for having kept up the publication for this long!

I enjoy going back and reading some issues from the past. Like Luc, I keep them neatly stacked in their own little place. Also, like Luc, I believe the renewals might be down only because of the confusing/timing of the bill. Hope you don't really want to stop publishing...... But if you do, I hope you enjoy your time by flying your Tailwind all over the place. (Whenever the wind stops blowing, hahahahaha) Good Luck Have Fun, Weav ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: RE: Tailwind-List: Tailwind Times > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: Mcculleyja@aol.com > > Jerry and Joy, > > You and Joy have done a wonderful job.
