Thanks, Thomas ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:07:46 AM PST US From: "Jim Clement" Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Re: Tailwind-List Digest: 3 Msgs - 04/02/05 Before putting the fairings on the engine would tach out at exactly 2600 rpm. After it tached out at slightly more than 2600 rpm. A two way gps run netted 207mph. I will work on the propeller next to get more rpm.

The curved part is made from scraps from the fuel tank, it is easily formed after the 3/8" flange is bent in a brake. The end pieces are .025 6061T6. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Doughty" Subject: RE: Tailwind-List: Emailing: Strut fairings (1), Strut fairings (4), Strut fairings (5) > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Stephen Doughty" > > > Hey Jim, I like those, do you make them or are they available some place > else? > > Steve -in Michigan > >>From: "Jim Clement" >>Reply-To: tailwind-list@matronics.com >>To: >>Subject: Tailwind-List: Emailing: Strut fairings (1), Strut fairings (4), >>Strut fairings (5) >>Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2005 19:43:59 -0600 >> >>Installed strut fittings today, I think I could see a slight increase in >>rpm.

Fewer crankcase thru bolts. Pros, if you use the 85 pistons you will have higher compression but you will have to machine relief's for the spark plugs.

I suppose with the higher compression it is obligatory to use avgas. I intend to use avgas anyway but it might come in handy someday to be able to use car gas. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Clement To: tailwind-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 2:44 PM Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: What Cons, you will have to use a different crankshaft.

Make the inner hole sloppy and taper it toward the tip end so the 3/4 tube finds its way into the hole. If you already have the rivets in, file flat spots in the bushing to clear. Not much new on this end, working on the prop.
