You know Mike...... I always love to fly a new airplane. And I would especially
like to fly yours so you won't have to worry anymore about your wings. But not
with an Olds or a Buick... Glad you elected to hang an 0-320 on the front.
It will make a great "Recreational" airplane..
:)

Fast Fred,
Yep, Photoshop. While we were playing I though I'd do one. Tailwinds don't
need any help to look good though, especially yours. That classic look is
the hook that kept me coming back. I picked up a tidbit of information here
and there, and now I live, eat and breathe Tailwinds. Maybe when I get to
flying mine this utter obsession will let up some. I will be getting around
to painting mine one of these days; right now I am working on tail wheel
proficiency. I got 3.5 hours in this week in a Cub and a Champ, hope to get
that much more this week. There is no substitute for good dual instruction,
so I am staying after it until I go broke, which will be soon. I may have
to hitch-hike to Malcolms. :-)

Why aren't you flying your Tailwind?? It's a lot nicer to fly than a Cub or a
Champ.... The speed is quite different however... Landings in a Tailwind aren't
full stall "Plops" though... Are you learning to briskly wheel land in the
"Trainers"? Once you can do that, you will love the transition to the Tailwind.
Just go fly it by yourself with a full tank of gas... Go get comfortable
with coordinated turns and the variety of stalls. After an hour or two (without
shooting any landings) practice your approaches and get used to the speed and
power requirements to fly final at 75 mph and 400 fpm down... Make a couple
of "Aborted" landings starting a couple of hundred feet off the ground so you
get used to the transition from descending to full power climbing while you
gently remove the flaps from their landing position. You will then be fine to
"slide it on" in a 3 point attitude.
Your money will go A LOT FARTHER before you go broke... That's the beauty of
a Tailwind.
Good Luck,
Weav
PS.. Make sure Rick approves of what I wrote.. He has flown with you and can
be a better judge of your skills at this point. But if you can.....fly the Tailwind.

| Subject: | Re: Tailwind Training |
Fred,
Thanks for the tips. I'm getting pretty much the same advice about getting
accustomed to the controls before shooting real approaches. I am getting
closer but still not quite ready to make the jump to hyperspace. The outfit
I am going to this week has a Citabria I will spring for also. Baby steps,
baby steps. No way would I have been able to get this plane going again
without Rick Crosslin. He's brung me this far, no reason to stop listening
to him now.
