I visited the aeromart at Oshkosh religiously while building my Tailwind, got a complete set of Cleveland wheels and brakes and tubes and tires (all brand new, never unboxed) for $350.00, just got really lucky on that one. would hate to try and build one now.

My W8 built between 1961 and 1965 cost $2200. Current cost of Cleveland wheels and brakes over $3000. Cost of 4130 tubing in early 60's was $.35 per foot

That says it all. ?90% of everything I know is what I learned after I learned how to read.? Once learning to read was mastered, universities held me back.?

Yes, and it has been real since Mark Twain wrote ¡°A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court¡± and probably before that Red ? ? Was just looking through some of my old receipts and found my initial receipt for 99% of my fuselage tubing from "Dillsburg" in 2003 .....$162.65 and that included shipping.......I hear it's and arm and a leg now for the same amount......Inflation.....it's REAL
