    Fred, I saw your GPS at Oshkosh sitting next to the 295 and 296. The screen on yours is the biggest by far. Going to put the cowl on the old 8 today I hope. Crosslin says he will take it around the patch to see what she's got before I hand it over to the Jump pilot down here to fly it to the airport where I am taking my transition training. The guy at that airport says we'll start out in his Citabria and switch to mine later, can't beat a deal like that. Better check you manual, I'm sure that red button does something! -Danny -----Original Message----- From: owner-tailwind-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-tailwind-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Fred Weaver Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Data uplink Hahahahahahha.....

    Callbie, The Buttercup is a lighter , roomier , slower ,STOL Tailwind . If you would like to put a set of metal wings on it , I would love to work with you .

Earl have you determined if Buttercup will qualify? To all of you, will a light weight ,low HP Tailwind perhaps with Vortex generators meet the Sport Pilot rules? I'm getting tired of spending $1700 for test, submitting them to wait 9 months for an approval that expires in 3 months. Just got my special medical 8/18 and it expires 11/30.

    TWers ...... Another great day at Baraboo with great Wisconsin weather. Bob Danner hard a work recently completing the fuselag welding on 2 new W-10s under construction (see photos below). Bob's welding skills are simply PERFECT! Jim C was hard a work fabricating aluminum fairings for the wing root attachment area. His Tailwind #9 is sharing up quickly.
