Re: Essential documents for TW building?
Hey Tailwind Fam, Has anyone been in contact with Jim Stanton? I sent him a check but he never cashed it or responded. Do you know if he will publish his manual again? Any information will be

Re: Tailwinds for sale
Jim Rust, Your estimate was perfect. I reduced pitch 3 degrees and now at ~7500 MSL WOT exceeds 2700rpm so the flightaware plot is at less than WOT at ~23¡± MAP and about 2680rpm. Average ground

Re: Brake Master Cylinder mounting question
Andy, I did like exactly like your proposed setup.? When I did my first engine run I had two people on the wings helping to keep the plane from rolling.? Now, the brakes hadn't been broken in

Re: Brake Master Cylinder mounting question
Clement method, works great lasts a long time no issues with inadvertent brake application. I don't do hammerheads in the Tailwind so no need for much rudder except taxiing in a strong wind.?

Re: Brake Master Cylinder mounting question
The pictures I sent were of Earl's final setup... You can see that the "horn" was lowered twice, and the link plates allow much more leverage and therefore hydraulic force applied to the calipers.

Do it like this. It solves the lack of pressure due to lever arm. The geometry has been discussed ad infinitum... [image: thumbnail.jpg] [image: thumbnail.jpg] -DjD [email protected]>

Re: Brake Master Cylinder mounting question
Brady, one of the key things to making the geometry on the pedals work is to keep the base of the master cylinder as close to the pivot point of the rudder padal I did this and when I press on the

Re: Brake Master Cylinder mounting question
Here is how I solved the excess MC push rod length. What you see is a 3/8 x 3/4 x 1.5" long piece of key stock, drilled and tapped to thread onto the MC with a jam nut, drilled hole for the pedal

I¡¯m sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can¡¯t figure out how the rudder pedals are supposed to move more than a few degrees without applying the brakes inadvertently. As opposed to the

Re: Airventure race 2010
Thanks for the interesting data points, Jim. Great performance even with a 2700 rpm limit. Bob W. summed it up nicely in a previous post, Steve's TW design was/is a quantum leap in performance
