The angle of attack plumbing kit and the U-104 are gone. The riveting and dimpling frame includes the tooling needed to use. Red

I recently sent for a copy along with a check for Mr. Stanton Tailwind Manual using this address: Jim Stanton 1642 McCulloch Bl #184 Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403 I understood Personal checks are fine 4 weeks have passed and nothing has been received in the mail. Did I send it to the wrong address or is it just no longer available? Thanks for any help Mike

John H mentioned MMO as a fuel additive. Many now deride this product as fairy dust, pink elephant repellant and snake oil, or just a pepermint essence mixed with lanoline and diesel. However, I use it, my father used it, and my grandfather used it. In the case of my ancestors, it was before hardened seats, high lead fuels, and old, slow, crude (describes my GO-300) engines. There are a lot of others that use it and I have never seen a report of an issue caused by its use. At one time I had a copy of an old SB from Continental advising the use of MMO in certain circumstances. I know I had a copy of it around somewhere,but for the life of me I can't find it. John, I think you have been around as long as I have. You would'nt happen to know of the SB to which I refer?

Works about the same as the lead that was added to the fuel. The lead is tetra Ethel lead not lead like in the paints. That seems to confuse a lot of people.

This is due to the high volume of "recreational" usage (boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, small engines, etc.) So getting "car gas" for the airplane is not problematic. In fact, quite a few airports around here have auto fuel available. As long as you keep it fresh it works great in low compression aircraft engines. Having said all that, I usually run 100LL in both the Tailwind and the Super Cub. I always add Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel, and I always lean aggressively both on the ground and in the air. The plugs stay surprisingly clean.

Mainly because of the altitude changes airplanes go through. This causes the ethanol to generate water in the fuel. Even if you remove the ethanol you will then need an octane booster. Almost every gas station can get ethanol free fuel, because it is not added at the refinery but at the jobber site. I would not go less than 91 octane. When I was maintaining crop dusters we almost always used car gas(Pre ethanol times) And I would add Marvel to the gas. We never had any valve problems in the big round engines!

Lycoming's numbers for "high performance cruise"-435 and economy 400. IIRC Mahlon Russell said that he has never seen any evidence that 425 causes damage to Lycoming cylinders. I did no have CHT or EGT gages in my Pitts. 1000 hours mostly at 3300 r/m and it still had perfect compression and no significant oil use for cross country. I ran as high as 2700 r/m for cross country. I just can't bring myself to treat the Tailwind engine that way. Regarding fuel your 320 is a 80 octane engine. I have known people who ran regular car gas in the low compression Lycomings with no issues. Family friend had a Pacer that he bought almost new. That engine never saw anything but car gas. When the Piper factor people would visit him they would ask for "some of that good tractor gas". On Tuesday, October 22, 20

Are we drifting of subject here or is it just my age? It gets awfully hard to research a topic if things take a 180. The subject of CHT is a topic of great interest to me as once I lost the porcelain off the plug in the bottom of the #1 cyl and it apparently it turned into a glow plug and was firing off the intake manifold charge when the intake valve opened. It didn't kill the engine but it idled back to 600 rpm which really checks your heart taking off over 100 ft tall oak trees.

Anyone going to Reklaw this year?

Evening everyone! Hope life has been well and healthy! A couple questions pertaining to Clement's method of covering. I've tried to grasp an idea how the process is implemented, but I'm left with a few questions still! There seems to be such a wide variety about how people go about this maule like method, I'd really like to see what's worked on the tailwind! I get the idea of treating each bay bw ribs as individual areas to be covered. When it comes time to wraping the fabric around the ribs, does everyone glue to the rib sides, going under the rib and glue to opposite rib side or do you continue to glue it to the top of the rib going all way under and over? Do i need to apply glue to the actual rib top or just glue where fabric will attach at rib side? Where should the glue be applied and where shouldn't it? Should protective tape be applied over ribs before apply fabric? At which point in the process should shrinking be done and to what temp vs applying finish tapes? Last question! Let's say i have older w8 elevator, and the elevator ribs were simply 1/4 tube somewhat flattened! Does one still need to worry about stiching or gluing this small? If so would it be easier to stitch vs previously discussed maule method?? I know it's so many questions, but from what I gathered from all your wonderful experiences, these few questions would hopefully help many others in the future! God bless and thank you greg

Eric Schlanser's W10 is now with a new caretaker. Stuart Anderson from the Tucson area is the new caretaker.

Fellow Tailwinders, years ago I saw photos and read article about Hansen Woodwind and had on my mind, if can find any Woodwind drawings and can build all wood Woodwing = with classic wooden W10 wings. Can anybody help with some info, drawings of Woodwind? Best Regards, Jeri

Just got my issue of Sport Aviation and Budd Davisson had an article that had a pic of "an unknown" Tailwind in it. He wanted the owner to please contact him so he got credit for the pic. Pic is on page 96. Roundel on the tail has a 79 number in it.... Cheers, Eric N83V

Recently got my renewal invoice for liability insurance for Buttercup N365ED from Avemco. New requirements were added that state I have to have ANNUAL Basic Med exams and BFRs – every year! After getting a quote from Falcon/Starr of $2500 (yikes!) – that’s not hull insurance! I decided Avemco’s quote of $520 (+/-) isn’t so bad. Yes, I’m a senior (76) and I guess that’s the price you have to pay – to prove you are safe enough to fly. Dave Lamphere -- Dave N365ED Wittman Buttercup
