I recommend the Sport Aviation article by Jim Cunningham? and the EAA video on Steves life. I am losing my hangar May 15 and most of my stuff is packed away so I can't offer any help. There is a lot

This is why “seaplane” props are always big diameter. Gives you more acceleration “out of the hole” (as the drag racers like to say). Might hurt the top end a little bit, but sure does pull on

From a long time (see my sig) RV owner, the C/S prop allowing full power in acceleration and climb obviously helps, but I'll bet it was at least 74" diameter, too. Many of the F/P prop makers sell 68"

Brad - Agree totally re: scanning all of Stanton's messages. I have his notebook and I have saved at least 150 emails with juicy into from Jim, Keith, and others. Group messages are like having

Thanks Ben,I eagerly await "Officer Bill Gannon's", report on most everything we post. Lucky to at least have some actual source, that has a lot of first-hand knowledge. Friends of Steve are fading

Brad, So as not to lean too heavily on TW14855 (Jim Stanton) personally, you may want to use his posts on this forum, and the posts of many others who knew Steve, as what as what essentially amounts

Greetings group, I am looking for any scholarly papers, books, or articles, containing information about Steve Wittman, and the Tailwind. I need this for a paper I am writing for Liberty School of

Did you ever tried lowering your tire pressure? Van recommends only 20 to 25lbs says it’s the added drag that’s needed, my RV6 never shimmy’s in grass and only on hard surfaces if I’m a little

I just didn't expect the Hartzell to do that good with 160hp. I had one ride in the highly modified W8 that Dennis later owned, parallel valve 0 360 and Hartzell C/S. I wasn't that impressed with

RV shimmied once out of six flights. I had ongoing shimmy problems with my W10. Mostly went away after a tire change. Goodyear type II before and after. I have been running 50# tire pressure which

Stanton, Did you have any shimmy issues, RV or TW?

Jim It’s the C/S prop. N316TW accelerates like a Pitts S2S. and would smoke an extra 300L. I never got tired of the T/O performance of my tailwind. At the initial take of roll having a C/S is like

GPS cripple-no way. My first year with the W10? AZ to WI no nav equipment, chart and compass. last summer NY to AZ my GPS and IPAD were both inop most of the way.? I am still trying to understand

My one experience with right-seat in a RV-6 tri-gear was that getting in wasn't a big problem, gravity helps, but getting out was a task for a gymnast. I couldn't stand up and I somehow had to get my

I have a bunch of time in RV variants, and I can attest to the fact that they are fine airplanes. BUT, i wouldn’t swap my Tailwind for any of them. One of the main reasons, which may surprise you,

An RV is a spam can. A Tailwind is an aeroplane. Full stop. And yes, I do have an RV-3 project. [email protected]> wrote:

Jim, Just saw that plane on the Vans RV forum.? Nice looking and interesting engine air intake system.? ?It was great that you helped him do the first flight. Keith

Jim, That is great.? ?Sounds like the builder did a really good job with baffling/cooling set up. Yes the RVs are nice airplanes and handle very nice.? I am always amazed had how slow they fly and
