"Tailwind Discussion" <tailwind-list@matronics.com>
| Subject: | O-O cowl 5-22-05 |
Day three: Brian and I have mutually agreed that the process we were using to construct
the O-O cowling was not yielding the results we wanted. The end result
would not have met his standards or mine, and his are higher than mine.
We're going to back up regroup and take another run at it later. I consider Brian
a craftsman, and one of the qualities of a craftsman is to know when a part
just isn't going to cut it and stop working way too hard on something that is
going to please no one.
The carbon fiber nose bowl he made for me is absolutely gorgeous, if anyone is
considering the use of an IO 360 Continental on the Tailwind, Brian has the mold
and can make you one.
Al Lowe of the St. Louis area visited us during our work this weekend. Al flew
a Tailwind some years ago, and is presently constructing another. Al is a grand
old gentleman of the aviation community, and I was glad to make his acquaintance.
Wish I'd had more time to hear and learn from his experiences. See you soon,
Al.

I received a call a few minutes ago from Bill Haskell (Texas) who is
about to launch his very light Tailwind for the first time. The plane
which he is calling the Lite Wind weighs 528 lbs and is powered by a 65
hp Cont. Gross weight is 1050 lbs. Bill is not on the internet but
he said he will send pictures of first flight and details of the air
craft's construction which I will post. He is hoping to be able to
register it in the Light Sport Catagory. Jerry

Boy I would sure like some more info on this plane.
I'm still thinking of putting my Rotax 912S 100hp
engine in mine. That would be some CHEAP flying!!

Mark, if l you want to put a 100 hp engine in your Tailwind, I don't
see any problem. It will fly damn nice and the performance will
probably make you happy. I certainly don't agree with those who think
a Tailwind "NEEDS" 160 hp to be a fun plane. N6PJ (100 hp W-8 Cruise
140 mph, flat out 170 mph) opened my eyes about this. Keep your
plane light and clean. Enjoy. Jerry

Mark; Bill Haskels project was in the Tailwind Times two or three years
back. I talked with Bill at the SAA gathering in Urbana two years ago and
as I recall, Steve had input on this project. Farmer John
