I know some of you are using this system and I was wondering if anyone had had any trouble with customer service. I am rebuilding my W-8 with an 0-290 and I ordered an EIS for my new panel. When I recieved it, it was missing several parts, including the wiring harness. I e-mailed them about it a week ago and still don't have an answer. Anyone with any experiance?

Cheaper in all respectsthan a C-175 and a lot faster, but not as roomy. Dave -------------- Original message from "John Godwin" jg7654@mindspring.com: -------------- How much where and what engine? It might be bad to say but I am definitely a budget flyer even though I own a C-175 ----- Original Message ----- From: DaveM Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Re:W8? IMHO, the W-10 wing will do betterfor a lower powered engine. At that point, might as well do the rest of the plane per W-10 planstoo. However, if you really want a W-8, I have one for sale....and you won't have to fool around converting a corvair ; ) Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: John Godwin Subject: RE: Tailwind-List: Re:W8? I might be wrong but I thought a W8 performed better on an O200. What does a W10 do on an O200 or Dare I say a Corvair? ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Weaver Subject: Tailwind-List: Re:W8? why would you want to build an 8? The W10 is everything the 8 needed to be.. Weav ----- Original Message ----- From: John Godwin Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: EIS from Grand Rapids Technologies. I was wondering if anyone out there has a set of plans for a W8 to my knowledge only the W10 is available from Spruce ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Schlanser Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: EIS from Grand Rapids Technologies. Ditto Paul. Also, I have met the principals and they seem alright. I haven't sent them any money though. Possibly they were so surprised that someone bought their unit, that they were caught off guard ;). Did you order the harness?
