Not that I am aware of, old news now.
There was a nice write up on both Tailwinds right after that race in the
daily paper, EAA Today.
There was an article proposed for SA regarding the race itself, that was
approved and outlined, but that is another story.
Speaking of the race, the deadline for applications with all forms
required, is 31 May for this years run.

Dave, That's pretty much how I ended up doing it. The holes in the fabric were
reinforced with 0.016 aluminum glued to the fabric and covered with a fabric patch.
A hole on both sides of the fin makes it easier to install and safety the
nut holding the elevator horns and pushrod end together.

I haven't been able to figure out what everyone does to allow the elevator
horn to be put inside the covered tail section of the fuse.
Access door/panel where horn enters fuse?
Circular hole in fabric, insert horn into fuse, rotate onto stab and insert
bolts, reach in through fin access door and bolt together arms and pushrod?
No rush, but while I am covering the smaller parts, I'm wondering how you
put those tail feathers together - neatly.

The mfg part number is 2081, I believe. Note that this will appear as
the ALU in their program, not the item number

What is a source for the rubberized cork ones? Thanks, Eric

I just
returned from the Hangar to find a huge stain under the cowling
and
tailwheel. I had dismanteled and checked the filter screens in the
gascolator the week before, re assembled them CHECKED for leaks
did not see
any and went home. My hangar buddy called me a couple days later
to tell me
about a stain on the floor. Turns out I spilled 28 galls of fuel
through the
rubber seal in the gascolator. It was a hot day here in So Cal
when I
checked the screens and re assembled them, I have a feeling that's
why it
did not leak there was just enough expansion in the rubber and
aluminum to
make the seal. When it all cooled down and shrank it started to
leak. when
I checked the rubber seal it has tiny crackes around the periphery
also. So
this needs replacing 1 per year it seems.
