Fred,
That's the beauty of the older low powered W8s on a long trip. If you
throttle back just a little more than usual you can get out and take a break
if you have a set of these.

George.... I tried to "Reply" to your little picture test thingy... It's obvious
that you created it using some kind of Yahooo crap as the reply bounced because
it contained "spam" or in other words AD's....
First of all, a picture did NOT show up in your email. Only a little square with
a tiny red x in the upper left hand corner.
Like Larry and Luc, when I tried to click on it and see the picture, all it did
was open up a Yahoo web page picture viewer thing that said my "Session had expired".
Yeah right.......

Luc is right on all points. This debate should not be about yahoo vs.
matronics so much as making a decision to improve communications in our
group. Two separate, redundant and competing systems, with double
posting and some people only on one or the other and thus missing some
messages is intolerable and stupid. Time to move on. Jerry

Yeah Bob... Great fun getting these speeds and burns.. The guage
information doesn't really give us anything. Guages are all over the map.
You need to carefully top off your tank and provide the actual amount of gas
used. You will be glad you did. BTW, you are probably running too rich. You
old hotrodder, what does your exhaust look like AND what do your plugs tell
you?
I'll bet you could really make that thing sing....

Jack,
The 160 is flat out 2750 rpm and 1500 ft. That is with no fairings except
the wing roots though. It's got potential.

Jack, I was just guessing since Rick didn't really give us a number. I know better....
I owned the sister ship and with a Lyc 0-290 D2, the fastest I could
cruise or top out was 163 mph. I can imagine Dan's plane going maybe 160 or a
bit slower. But his rate of climb will be nothing to write home about.
Right Rick????

That's how I like to fly--2600/2650 RPM, and about 2500' AGL. I like to see
the ground go by. To heck with economy, though I do lean it some. I just
wish there weren't so many bugs at those altitudes. I also don't have a
marathon bladder or iron butt, so I land every couple hours or so--more
worse economy! But I like it that way.

Jim C, I noticed in the Air Tech manual the need for venting all cavities to remove
solvent vapors. Is this a problem with the closed bays on the control surfaces?

I saw one exactly like that at a rubber band meet and it flew better than the real

How many Tailwinds attended the Mich. fly in?
Fred, if you don't get the Tailwind from England, maybe this guy in Australia
will sell you His. They both look like they would be super of fuel mileage.

Paul,
I've used Air Tech for years with no problems . The venting really isn't an
issue .

I just talked to Forest Lovley and he has his TW for sale. It is very
similar to Dennis Flamini's. It has a O320 B2B 160hp with about 800 TT and
70 SMOH. 700 on the airframe, KX155 navcom, spare spinner and nosebowl. It
is 4" wider than a regular TW but not higher like Dennis's. This is a real
nice TW, he is asking in the $30-$35,000 range. It also has a new wood prop.
His phone number is 952 492 6126 Minneapolis area.
email is ftlovley@aol.com Jim C

Here is the fix on my control rod. First picture is the fork end. Upper
fork is .072 and one piece. The fork on the bottom is .035 two pieces and
the bottom piece is not welded save for what amounts to a tack, all this and
ground on too. The next picture shows over all comparison, what was there is
.25 dia and thick enough wall to cut threads for the 3/16s rod end. I made
the replacement .5x.035 with 5/16 bolt welded in for the rod end. What was
there weighs 2 oz, the new one as you see it weighs 5 oz. You can build
some things too light for the duty they will see. (My landings)
