Brian Alley will be at my place near Elizabethtown KY on Friday May 20 until Monday
or Tuesday to lay up the cowling for the O-O. Some of you have mentioned
you'd like to see this being done, and anyone who'd like to stop in is welcome.
Brian has the nose bowl section nearly complete, and we'll position it and lay
the rest of the cowling up in carbon fiber over wire mesh. The finished cowl will
be installed in the same way as the modern Tailwind. This will be MUCH better
than using a nose bowl and flat wrap aluminum, as Steve did on the original
and I originally intended to do on the replica.
Even tho we can't exactly copy the original cowling due to differences in the engines,
we'll be making every effort get as close as we can in appearance.
I'm looking forward to posting some pics.

That's just not true..... There are lot's of Tailwinds that come up from time
to time. I'm just grateful to have a very nice one that will stay with me for
a Looooonnnnngggg time. And John, remember what I said. You do need a good reliable
flying Tailwind to fly while you are de bugging and tinkering with your
Mazda/Tailwind.. Of course, if you would rather tinker than fly, just let us
know. I'm trying to remember the amount of years you have been building... But
of course, you have a short winged Piper to fly and that is reliable. I guess
you better keep the Piper so you will still have something to fly after you
get your Tailwind finished.... ouch! Looking forward to giving you a bad time
at Baraboo.... Bring the breakfast.
:)

Weaver; Ordering up wiring and heat box this morning. Trying to figure out
wire sizes from Tony's home builders books and every drawing has a different gauge
size for the same application. Would buy flying TW, but you bid them out
of my price range. Farmer John

John.... I just love picking on you... It's all in Jest of course but I'd sure
like to see you flying a little hot rod instead of tinkering. What the hell
is a Barrow's engine?

Subject: Tailwind-List: Tailwind Value
Weaver; You are right on about buying a Tailwind. My none scrounge abilities
over the price of buying new would have bought nearly two of Jim's Tailwinds
at the time I started building. It is nice that the value of the nice Tailwinds
have really taken off. 6 or 8 years ago there were really nice Tailwinds
for 10 or 12 thousand. One nice one was Kennedy's with the new Barrows engine
as I recall at 15 thousand. A friend of mine bought one of those engines for
12 thousand at about that time. About time, lets not go there, as I'm flying
three times a week with what I have, best stress relief in the world. Farmer
John Fly those Tailwinds! I'm getting there.

Dates this year are July 22, 23 and 24. The first day of OSH was brought
forward to Monday the 25th so maybe it would be best to leave for OSH on
Sunday.
The good news is we might have access to new bathroom, shower, washer-dryer
and maybe complete kitchen facilities. One of the newer Baraboo flyers is
building a big hanger equipped for big parties. He also might build a
Bearhawk. If anyone wants to show up early, that's fine. There is always
something going on. If anyone has any interesting TW videos, bring them
along for 'Theater In Bills Hanger" evening entertainment.
Jim

Weaver; Burrows is the fellow that designed the Bear Hawk. He also does new engines,
O-320's. He is located in Fincastle, VA. at a isolated mountain top airfield.
Fred, My metal finishing leaves a lot to desired, but I haven't screwed
up anything that 20# of BONDO won't camouflage. You could be doing a lot
flying while you are picking on me. Maybe I could trade my Colt for a good W-10
w/Lyconosauras on it. Farmer John

Hey Weav, I think it is one of them engines that run a wheel barrow. We got a lot
of them down here in the south.

I'm ready to bite the bullet and upgrade to 160 HP on
my 0320-A2B. I have .010 over cylinders with 350 hours
SOH. I have an IA looking up piston part numbers and
will be looking for good prices on pistons new or
servicable used. Any good sources would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
