Please disregard my last post I thought Red was emailing me when in fact he was just letting the group know the exhaust was sold.

For anyone planning on Watertown:
Confirming dates are July 18-19. Departure for OSH early on 20th.
camping is available near the FBO. check in with FBO for location
Watertown motels are likely already booked.
Check Johnson Creek or anywhere along I94 for rooms
If you plan to fly to Oshkosh print out the notam and study it. Make up signs for desired parking
If you want to use 36 or 18 it is best to fly the low route at 90 kts or less. If you use the high route you may be told to land 9 or 27.
I hope to give a few rides. Preference to those who are near completion of a Tailwind.?

N23TW is registered to a Greybull WY address. North central WY? 0 360 Lycoming which is what all W10's should have.? I hate to be critical but the EAA sponsored meal on Fri last year was not very good.?

Watertown is the famous location where a few years ago the "Ancient and Honorable Order of the Spotted Cow"? was formed and still exists today. :)

Thanks, Tim Mikus. N23TW.

James,
That is great!? ?As far as I know there is no "membership" that you would have to activate.? ?We welcome all who are interested.? You will have to register on Groups.io and "join this group".? Then you will have access to all parts of the forum including pictures and the files section.? ?Here is a link that might help: ? /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/joining-groups/overview?single=true? ? ?Since you have already posted a message,? I think you may already be a member of the group. ?
If someone else on the forum has more specifics please let James know.

John,
I thought about closing off part of the intake air but don't really want to put any tape over the openings.? There are other options like a removable air dam but haven't got around to it.? I just try to not fly unless I have to when it is below 20 F.? ?
?
Thanks
Keith

Keith; ?To control your CHT’s You may want to think about closing off the intake air. This works better than adjusting the out flow of air. It also helps with cooling drag.

For those interested,? the carb heat muff is different than a cabin heat muff.? This one is open on the top (closed on both ends) so it can draw air in and around the exhaust pipe but also to allow for heat to escape when the carb heat is not operating.? I bought both my cabin heat muffs and this carb heat muff from Robbins Wings but I think they are out of business or have changed names.? ? ?I have 2 cabin heat muffs in series and have plenty of heat.? Yesterday I flew and it was 8 degrees F? outside air temp but we were plenty warm.? ?Now keeping the oil temp and cylinder head temps up at that temp is another story.

Re: Essential documents for TW building?
Yes, acknowledged . . . but here’s the problem:? If one hasn’t updated his password in the timeframe Groups.io wants, a log in attempt is rejected, and to recover/renew one’s password Groups.io requires 2FA to deliver a code to insure the log-in is approved by the right person (me in this case).? Groups.io does this only through the app “Authenticator”.? I could ty to set up another account with Groups.io, but they will then tell me an account under my email address already exists, and then request a password – which of course I have, but its “use by date” has passed, which is the original problem.? So I’m stuck right back where I started, unless I want to let Authenticator mess with all my accounts, as it seems to be all or nothing with regard to what Authenticator grabs and sets up with 2FA – unless I’m very much mistaken, which is possible, of course, but I don’t see how.? I already have all the 2FA set up for all my other accounts, but not with Authenticator.? I don’t want to uproot all of that.? A gracious soul from our Tailwinds group (Dan) has sent me a file containing the compendium, and I think that’s really all I want for now.? Thanks. ? ?

So I think I figured out my issue and have it solid at this time! I'm double covering and stewarts has you use 3 to 1 glue water at this point to seal fabric. In this case I had to add undiluted glue at this point, giving a much solid bond that don't slip when shrinking. The bond w the diluted glue was not holding!?

since mine is a tri-gear I couldn't get Brians filter system to work for me so I made this.......a bit complicated and non filtered but it works for me.
