    Well that link didn't work as expected. When you get to the main site, click on "Experimental" then scroll down the list of types to "Wittman Tailwind". My W-8 is advertised there.

IMHO, the W-10 wing will do better for a lower powered engine. At that point, might as well do the rest of the plane per W-10 plans too. 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 To: tailwind-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 10:03 AM Subject: RE: Tailwind-List: Re:W8? I might be wrong but I thought a W8 performed better on an O200.

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?

    Subject: Re: 0290-G
    Some G's have been rebuild with D parts. you can mic the flange to tell the difference. Off hand I can't remember what the D thickness is. I can look it up if you can't find it Ken. Jim Clement <jclement000@centurytel.net> wrote: Yes, it would be a good idea. The flange is thinner on the G shafts. Some used the stiffener and others didn't. There was some flange cracking with the ground power cranks.

    Subject: Fw: Hangar One Meetings
    MessageFYI ----- Original Message ----- From: GaryAir Subject: FW: Hangar One Meetings FYI. Trish *************************************************** Trish Guerrieri CEO, GaryAir Flight Instruction, Air Taxi and Aviation Techology P.O. Box 116 Moffett Field, CA 94035 (408)729-IFLY(4359) *************************************************** From: Carl Honaker [mailto:Carl.Honaker@rda.sccgov.org] Subject: Hangar One Meetings Friends, Shipmates and Fellow Moffetteers, As promised here is an update on the continuing saga of Hangar One and how we need to make our voices heard so that the hangar may be saved. Thanks to all who have shown their support and attended the last Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meeting at Mountain View City Hall...your presence truly made a difference! We've also heard that there have been some interesting "out of the box" ideas on how the Navy's goal of environmental cleanup can be accomplished without tearing down the hangar. Lets hope one of these solutions is the answer. Based on the information we received at the last RAB meeting, its evident that the Navy is not willing to exclude the "demolition" option from its list of possible mitigations. Although they label it as a worst case and highest cost alternative, they don't want to take any options off the table at this time. That still makes me nervous especially when you look at their very agressive timeline to find a solution. So lets continue to keep the pressure on by attending the public meetings and writing to our elected officials. I'm still working on a 'boiler plate' letter that you can use or modify as you see fit to send to your City/County/State and Federal politicians and officials. I'll send it separately in another email. A good source of info on what's happening at Moffett Field is a great website/blog operated by Steve Williams at: http://www.nuqu.org where you can find links to Hangar 1 and other Moffett/NASA current events. Future Meetings.... There are three upcoming meetings that are significant for Hangar One: One is a Hangar One Stakeholder Meeting that is apparently for a select group of NASA invitees (guess I'm included as I was invited). That meeting is set for this Wednesday evening from 4-6 p.m. at the NASA Ames Conference Center (former Officers Club) at Moffett Field. I definitely plan to be there. The next public meeting regarding the Navy's environmental plans for the hangar is an Open House at the former Chief's Club/Space Camp building just outside the gate on Monday June 13th. Here is a copy of the flyer that went out toward the end of April to those on their mailing list. Date /Time: Monday, June 13, 2005, 5 to 8 p.m. Location: Former NAS Moffett Field Building 943 Mountain View, CA Come learn about the environmental activities taking place at Hangar 1, located at the former Naval Air Station Moffett Field, and take the opportunity to provide your input to the Navy as they examine several options for addressing cleanup there. The Navy will study these options in an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EEICA), and the open house will present information about the EEICA, its purpose and content. Discuss the issues directly with representatives from the Navy, NASA and regulatory agencies at various stations throughout the room. We recommend following the sequence below STATION OVERVIEW STATION NO. 1 WELCOME - Sign in, pick up informational materials and sign up on the project mailing list. STATION NO. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS - Get an overview of the environmental restoration process at Hangar 1, as well as the process for evaluating feasible and cost-effective alternatives for proposed removal actions. STATION NO. 3 REGULATORS - Meet the regulators and learn about their agencies' involvement in the environmental restoration program at Hangar 1. STATION NO. 4 HANGAR I - Learn about Hangar I, its background and history. STATION NO. 5 REMOVAL ACTION - Learn about alternatives that will be considered to address environmental issues at Hangar 1. STATION NO. 6 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT - Learn about more ways to get involved in the Navy's environmental program; fill out a comment form to provide input on proposed alternatives for Hangar 1. THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING! And the next RAB meeting is set for Thursday July 14th from 7-9 p.m. at Mountain View City Hall. In addition to the other environmental topics at Moffett Field, Hangar One should still be a big part of the meeting's discussions. Thanks and hope to see you there!

    Is any of the Tailwind group planning to go to the SAA fly-in in Urbanna this weekend? I'm hoping to make it in the Aeronca again. -Mike Wilson
