What type of oil cooler hose should I get for a Lyc O-360? Spruce has many types (of hose material) but I don't know which to get.

Thanks for the great input Keith. Good info. I have not tried two notches for takeoff on my Tailwind yet. Might give it a go when I get back up north in the spring, just to see how it does compared to

Thanks Keith, That’s helpful. Ray

And Bill – did you have fuel tanks in those wings? Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2025 7:01 AM To: [email protected]; Smoky via groups.io <lowea1@...> Subject: Re:

Ray, I can't remember if I had tried 2 notches.? I want to say that I did and it really didn't help anything.? I think that perhaps after you get past 1 notch it is just pretty much all drag.? ?

I built metal wings for my Tailwind. IIRC they weighed 63 pounds per panel, including flaps and ailerons. Bill Bernard

I’m not sure as to the weight difference, but performance wise, the wood wing is faster and stronger than the metal wing. This is the reason the Hughes Racer had a flush riveted fuselage and wood

Are Calbie Wood metal wings generally heavier than standard W10 wings? I know, I know, somebody is going to say at what span? Well I'm pretty sure the Calbie Wood plans are for wings of only one

Hello all and thank you Doug for your insight. I fully appreciate everything you said. I was thinking some place in between; not a full blown kit with every nut and bolt, but a good start to keep the

The flap control on my W8 is electric without any fixed intermediate positions (notches). Roughly what angle does the 2nd notch give?

My W10 has the 23' wingspan compared to 24' plans built. I use second notch most of the time. The runway is rough and that gets me airborne a bit quicker. I retract the flaps immediately to first

Thanks Keith and Joe. Have either of you tried a little more flap, say 20 degrees?

The typical modern Tailwind, with a big 320 cu in engine and an empty weight well above 800 lb, is certainly not going to qualify under LSA. However, the W-10 and the Sonex have similar wing

On my W8 I have been using one notch of flaps (nominally 15 degrees) for takeoff, regardless of runway length. that setting seems to provide a much cleaner liftoff, less ground roll, and better

Joe you are correct, after discussing this with my local FAA inspector, he informed me that a pilot practicing under the light sport category, it would be determined by the individual pilot on whether

Ray, I have never flown a W8 but on my W10,? I normally will use 1 notch of flaps on takeoff.? I believe that is about 15 degrees.? I don't use any more than that even when I need a short

I recall talking about this 20 or so years ago and? I still feel the same way. While a Cub might not be questioned....... A LSA compliant Tailwind is an Oxymoron. With due respect, Jack

I am nearing completion of a rebuild of a W8 with an O 200 engine. I shall be performing the first post rebuild flight from a 500 yrd strip and so would like to set the flaps to the very best short

Also, cant the bow forward so that the bottom edge of the windshield can be cut square.? This makes fitting the windshield easier and simplifies the fairing at the bottom edge of the? windshield (no
