We are in the South Suburbs of Chicago about 30 miles South of MDW=2C Frank
fort=2C IL.
i flew a W9 Tailwind for 12 years=2C 1000 hrs and raced it a little=2C it h
ad an 0-360 with CS prop and did about 200 while racing.
The new W10's are a lot faster=2C in the 2006 Airventure we were low on fue
l so throttled back and flew high but a W10 from CA with
0-320 flew low and fast into mostly headwinds and did 216mph!
See photos of Tailwind=2C N564DF that i sold in 2005 and last raced in 2006
.Also current biplane project.
i am only sport pilot now and hope to be able to lift my leg high enough to
get in the biplane.
66 years old and happy to even see 2009.
Dennis from Chicago
PS=3B i attended the RFD EAA flyins from 1963 on and flew a Cougar=2C N6484

Dennis=2C I will send photos at a latter date. I saw the plane on Barnstorm
ers a year ago in Alabama. It was built in Alabama in 1993 I believe. It wa
s deregistered=2C dismanteled and sold for scrap on the record. But=2C the
only dismanteling was the removale of the wings. A fellow bought it as part
of a package with a couple of engines he wanted and put it on Barnstormers
. I am rebuilding a Kitfox that will be up and flying in a couple of months
. A Kitfox cruises at 85mph. I thought that is a great low and slow plane a
nd thought an RV would make a great getup and go plane. Saw this W10 for ab
out 1/4 of what an RV cost=2C liked the design and history of the Whittman
and could justify getting it. The plane is actually in better shape than I
had Hoped by the pictures in barn stormers. The fellow that had it listed
=2C when I asked the condition said what it really needed was a wash job. H
e wasn't lying It looked damn good after I washed it. As a matter of fact o
ne guy saw it a couple of days after it was delivered=2C came back a couple
of months later after the wash job and asked me if I had repainted it. I w
ill start working on it this summer. And hope to have it up summer of 2010.
The plane was built with an 0-320 and latter converted to an 0-290 by the
original builder. Are you located in Chicago?

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

Dennis=2C 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 i
nfo from the website. I wish the Tailwind site was a more active website. I
have been told the Yahoo Tailwind forum is good. But=2C I don't think the
format is as user friendly as this Matronix site.
