Thanks for making a guy feel welcome.
Dave,
Bill Scheunemann makes custom wings and wing kits. I am the crew chief for
Skip Stewart http://www.skipstewartairshows.com/ . Bill designed a custom
wing for Skip's Pitts S2S. We built them this winter. In my opinion Bill's
wings best made. He produces a Tailwind wing kit that is available through

From: Keith Imel
Subject: Wings
Hey Guys,
I finally got my Cougar- W10 project home to Juneau. I will post some photos
in the next few days. Today I pulled the ceconite off the wings. I found that
they had plywood ribs. My plan is to install fiberglass with west systems epoxy
in place of the ceconite. They are covered with 3/32 plywood strips 18 inches
wide laid on a 45% angle. The strips are not scarfed together. I do not think
the plywood is varnished on the inside either. Any ideas on how I can varnish
them now? Would I be better off to replace the plywood? If so how can I remove
it?
My wings are also equipped with aluminum wing tanks! They are about 18 inches
wide by 4 thick for at least several rib bays, then they neck down to about 6X6
and extend almost to the tapered tips.The filler neck is just before the last
solid rib.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Keith Imel

CJ ...... You might want to keep your W-10 project a
secret, otherwise, Skip will be asking you to build
one for him once he learns how the current Tailwinds
are performing.
If and when you start your wings, please keep us
posted on your progress. Rich

Hey Guys,
I saw someones idea for marking tubes for cutting and I thought it could
come in handy in certian situations...
I'm waiting on the FAA to give the guy the OK to look at my Kolb-Firestar
II and issue (hopefully) my Airworthiness Cert...
So, it won't be long til I start working on my W-10

Mike .... Clever idea but most practical is the
following:
1. Well constructed Fuselag JIG (lines to mark tube
center line, tabs to maintain tube alignment, shims to
compensate tubing diameter variations at joint - May
wish to ask Dav Stamsta about a CNC programing for a
constructed fuselag JIG);
2. Good air compressor with a high speed cut-off die
grinder (as close to the JIG as possible);
3. Regular bench grinder (as close to JIG as possible)
with small (about 10 inches) tubes of varies common
sizes in a coffee can (short peices come in handy for
'quick' alignment while grinding);
4. Mark your stock tubing so easy to see sizing and
thickness (like a peice of tape with large enough
letters to easily see from 5 ft);
Now, get your tape measure with die grinder in hand
along with your bench grinder close by and be prepared
for a good time. With a little practice you will be
supprized how well you can 'eyeball' your tubing for
angle cuts and appropriate grinding for tube joints.

I bought a straight mount 0-320 today. I guess I'll go get it sat. It's has 125
hrs since being zero timed. Came with all the accesories except mags. I even
got a fuel pump with it,maybe I can sell it. Now a couple of more weekends and
I get back in the air..................Bob 149

Hello CJ,
I live in Horn Lake and have been building a TW for about a year and a half.
I have the wings pretty much done, and the fuselage is on the gear in my
garage. The seats are getting an upholstry job in a spare bedroom now. You
should stop by some time or give me a call. I have about 250 construction
pictures on cd I could burn for you. The beer flows freely over here,
Octoberfest on tap now. I will be in the workshop monday and tuesday or
whenever...
