Problem is that when you look at the area available between the ribs, you have less than 6 gallons available. I decided it was not worth it and will use a fuselage tank behind the seats. Callbie's metal wing would be the way to go for tank capacity. Paul Paul F.

So many of these matronics lists are virtually dead. I am a tailwind fan. Always have been, always will be. Could never get started. In the mean time I built a Pitts and an RV6. The tailwind still lingers though. I have a nice RV6, but I think the TW is a more practical plane when one considers every thing, such as cost to build and simplicity. Couple that with a very respectable cruise speed per HP and the TW is a close shoice. Vans plans are not real clear in a lot of areas. The second time around they would be, but the first time they are somewhat un-clear. As for the metal wings. I would sure look into them if I were a builder and I had not yet stsrted a set of wings. Keep this list going... Let's trade rides... I may get the torch fired up.

That is correct Bill. But Van's plans are drawn nicely except he scatters details all over the place from page one to page 55. At least the early slow build drawings were like that. I hope in the later years he has got things organized better. The drawings were done nice but, he has things scattered real bad and trying to find details are a problem sometimes.

Phil, I read a quote many years ago from a Tailwind builder who said, "The plans give you a wonderful opportunity to use your imagination." I doubt I would have gotten mine done without the help from folks on the internet. Bill N40WB Phil Sisson wrote: Wow, the list comes alive. So many of these matronics lists are virtually dead.
