Pat,
The Tailwind forum at matronics was the only site for some time and
has lots of archived info.
i think it was one of the Fresno guys that got us started on Yahoo due
to ability to add photos to posts, shortly after most switched to Yahoo
Matt added the same thing to Matronics but almost everyone stayed on
Yahoo.
i try to post to both since i have some friends that refuse to switch
to Yahoo.
Tell me more about yourself and the Kitfox and Tailwind...photos?
Dennis

Dennis, I live in Rockford and have a W10 in need of TLC. I am
currently rebuilding a Kitfox and plan on starting on the Tailwind this
summer. The Matronix website is extremely active. I have learned an
immense amount of info from the website. I wish the Tailwind site was a
more active website. I have been told the Yahoo Tailwind forum is good.
But, I don't think the format is as user friendly as this Matronix site.

Dave=2C thanks for the info. I am used to the Matronix format so I like it.
I am a Hotmail subscriber not Yahoo. I started to sign up for Tailwind for
um on Yahoo. I might have even completed signing up but found the format co
nfusing after the simplisity of the Matronix site. I don't mind contributin
g to the website founder as I would never spend the kind of time it takes t
o put one of these together and feel I he deserves it=2C no matter what th
e cost=2C I ain't no freeloader. I could not have rebuilt my Kitfox without
the info of other members. I guess I will have to sit down and force mysel
f to become familiar with the Yahoo website if I am going to use the intern
et for Tailwind info. I guess you ain't going to bring the mountain to me.

Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: 0-290 and other Lycoming info
Not quite correct Dennis. Actually the history of the Tailwind Forum (Yaho
o) and Tailwind List (Matronics) is basically as follows:
Burt Rudolph first had the Tailwind e-mail list on his website back in the
late 1990's. That is when I first joined the group. His list worked for a
time=2C then he had troubles maintaining it and periodically it would go d
own. He got it going again for a short time=2C but at that time it was a l
ot of work to maintain a list. His website was http://www.chlassociates.co
m/Aviation/tailwind.htm but it is no longer available and it hadn't been up
dated in years.
When Jerry Hey took over the Tailwind Times (late 1990s or 2000)=2C he also
set up the "Tailwind Forum" e-mail group. I don't remember how long he wa
s able to manage it=2C I think it was about a year=2C perhaps even two=2C b
ut then he also had problems maintaining it and protecting against spam. A
fter it went down=2C I suggested to Jerry that perhaps we should start a Ya
hoo group=2C which a number of other aircraft groups had also done. Jerry
asked me to set it up and so I did in August 2001--I followed Jerry's lead
(with his blessing) and named it the "Tailwind Forum".
About perhaps a year or more later=2C Matronics was setting up its various
e-mail groups=2C and was successful with the RV types among others. He exp
anded to include the "Tailwind-List" among others. Many liked this because
the Matronics Lists didn't have advertisement=2C but for a long time it co
uld not accommodate pictures. This was later modified and pictures and fil
es were allowed=2C but the Matronics Tailwind List never became popular com
pared to the Tailwind Forum=2C though it has had its stalwart supporters.
I think this was for a variety of reasons=2C the monthly admonitions about
content on the forums=2C the annual fundraiser/plea for money=2C and the la
ck of flexibility and content that the Yahoo groups allow (these are my per
sonal opinions mindya!).
The Yahoo Tailwind Forum currently has 885 members worldwide=2C and a wealt
h of information on the Tailwind between the pictures=2C links and files on
the forum site=2C not to mention the average of 400 to over 800 posts per
month=2C which are archived and searchable. Yes it still has some advertis
ement=2C but it is fairly unobtrusive. It allows the owners and moderators
to be changed=2C and the group can have input into these if they need to.
For example=2C on another Yahoo group that I frequent=2C the Owner disappe
ared=2C and the group was getting a fair amount of spam because the members
hip was wide open to anyone. I worked with Yahoo=2C and we got two new mod
erators who now monitor the memberships=2C and who have put much more conte
nt on the site. It is now much better.
I am not trying to bash the Tailwind list--I have been a member of it since
inception--and it is=2C and always has been=2C listed on the Tailwind foru
m as an alternate group. However=2C like many Matronics groups=2C it is no
t used very much. I know this is not the preference of those who like the
Matronics group better=2C but it is the fact.

The Tailwind forum at matronics was the only site for some time and has lot
s of archived info.
i think it was one of the Fresno guys that got us started on Yahoo due to a
bility to add photos to posts=2C shortly after most switched to Yahoo
Matt added the same thing to Matronics but almost everyone stayed on Yahoo.
i try to post to both since i have some friends that refuse to switch to Ya

Tell me more about yourself and the Kitfox and Tailwind...photos?

Not quite correct Dennis. Actually the history of the Tailwind Forum (Yaho
o) and Tailwind List (Matronics) is basically as follows:
Burt Rudolph first had the Tailwind e-mail list on his website back in the
late 1990's. That is when I first joined the group. His list worked for a
time=2C then he had troubles maintaining it and periodically it would go d
own. He got it going again for a short time=2C but at that time it was a l
ot of work to maintain a list. His website was http://www.chlassociates.co
m/Aviation/tailwind.htm but it is no longer available and it hadn't been up
dated in years.
When Jerry Hey took over the Tailwind Times (late 1990s or 2000)=2C he also
set up the "Tailwind Forum" e-mail group. I don't remember how long he wa
s able to manage it=2C I think it was about a year=2C perhaps even two=2C b
ut then he also had problems maintaining it and protecting against spam. A
fter it went down=2C I suggested to Jerry that perhaps we should start a Ya
hoo group=2C which a number of other aircraft groups had also done. Jerry
asked me to set it up and so I did in August 2001--I followed Jerry's lead
(with his blessing) and named it the "Tailwind Forum".
About perhaps a year or more later=2C Matronics was setting up its various
e-mail groups=2C and was successful with the RV types among others. He exp
anded to include the "Tailwind-List" among others. Many liked this because
the Matronics Lists didn't have advertisement=2C but for a long time it co
uld not accommodate pictures. This was later modified and pictures and fil
es were allowed=2C but the Matronics Tailwind List never became popular com
pared to the Tailwind Forum=2C though it has had its stalwart supporters.
I think this was for a variety of reasons=2C the monthly admonitions about
content on the forums=2C the annual fundraiser/plea for money=2C and the la
ck of flexibility and content that the Yahoo groups allow (these are my per
sonal opinions mindya!).
The Yahoo Tailwind Forum currently has 885 members worldwide=2C and a wealt
h of information on the Tailwind between the pictures=2C links and files on
the forum site=2C not to mention the average of 400 to over 800 posts per
month=2C which are archived and searchable. Yes it still has some advertis
ement=2C but it is fairly unobtrusive. It allows the owners and moderators
to be changed=2C and the group can have input into these if they need to.
For example=2C on another Yahoo group that I frequent=2C the Owner disappe
ared=2C and the group was getting a fair amount of spam because the members
hip was wide open to anyone. I worked with Yahoo=2C and we got two new mod
erators who now monitor the memberships=2C and who have put much more conte
nt on the site. It is now much better.
I am not trying to bash the Tailwind list--I have been a member of it since
inception--and it is=2C and always has been=2C listed on the Tailwind foru
m as an alternate group. However=2C like many Matronics groups=2C it is no

Pat, I like many others am planning the trip to Baraboo again this year.
My Tailwind, a W-10, Mazda powered, was together and weighed 3 weeks
ago, but is apart again to modify and correct some things. I'm not sure
if my granddaughter Caitlyn will be able to attend Baraboo this year or
not, she will be a junior in high school and the kid is active in many
different things. I follow both of the Tailwind list's on line and
there being over 800 folks on the Yahoo site, it is the dominate one. so
sign up and enjoy the site and all the Baraboo gang's pictures and
activities. Farmer John....Marion, MI

Dave, Your's, and a few other's messages don't read down the page without m

If you need Yahoo help, let me or Dan Doolin (the other Tailwind forum mode
rator, who is very computer savvy) know.- Basically all you need is a Yah
oo ID and password, but you will have to use them to access many of the fea
tures of the Tailwind forum site.-

Yes it is true that maintaining e-mail groups does take time and effort, an
d hardware costs, not to mention overhead, etc, and somehow that cost has t

Good to see another tailwind progressing, definitely get you and your Kitfo

Dave, thanks for the info. I am used to the Matronix format so I like it. I
am a Hotmail subscriber not Yahoo. I started to sign up for Tailwind forum
on Yahoo. I might have even completed signing up but found the format conf
using after the simplisity of the Matronix site. I don't mind contributing
to the website founder as I would never spend the kind of time it takes to
put one of these together and feel- I-he deserves it, no matter what th
e cost, I ain't no freeloader. I could not have rebuilt my Kitfox without t
