I seem to recall that Callie claimed there was was no difference in weight between metal wings and finished wood wings. FWIW Fred

My condolences to Russ' family and many friends. I'm the current owner of his W10, N12038, which exhibits his great craftsmanship..Whenever possible, I always made it a point to stop in Baraboo and

Thanks for that! I am going to look into whether a similar setup can be installed on my W8. It would certainly be nice to be able to trim out the pitch change when deploying flaps. Great

Red, you say “mine were 55#” – you’re talking about W10 Wittman designed wood wings. Thanks in advance if you would clarify that. Depending on the order the forum responses come in,

Thanks Charlie. That’s well-documented quantitative information. Useful, “good to know” stuff folks can work with. Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2025 7:58 PM To:

I also built metal wings for my Tailwind and made them wet wings. I concur with Bill that the plans had a note “fuel goes here”. I recall a discussion of the weight of the wings as I was building

So sad to hear this, I met Russ at one of the Baraboo gatherings and was an interesting person to talk to. He's got "blue skies" now and my condolences go out the family, may he rest in peace. Alex

With sympathy & friendship I am sad to announce that a fellow Tailwind pilot Russ Hasenbalg from Baraboo, Wisconsin has passed away.? (obituary
