For discussion and exchange of information related to the Wittman Tailwind, Nesmith Cougar, and similar aircraft, like the Buttercup, Big X, Daphne, Fourrunner and O&O--focus is on building and flying designs by Steve Wittman and related designs and modifications by others. Pictures can also be posted if moderate size.
The picture is the monthly calendar which are created by Dan Doolin so that our backgrounds on our computers have a nice tailwind picture and current calendar both. These are found in the "Files" section. July's calendar is Mike Logback's beautiful new Tailwind which first flew last year and won an award at Oshkosh.
For builders and other interested folks, all of the old newsletters can be found in the "Files" section. Also there is a lot of other helpful construction information in the Files Section and many pictures of construction and flying in the Photos Section.
The West Coast Tailwind Fly-in is now held annually at the Fresno Chandler Airport and is scheduled for Sunday October 4. Come on down for lunch and great discussions of Wittman designs--All aircraft and drive-in/walk-ins welcome.
Keep in mind that the BIG BARABOO flyin/drivein/walkin will be held July 23-July 26 (just before Oshkosh), and there will be a group flyover to Oshkosh on Sunday morning July 26. Don't miss this chance to see Tailwinds (and related aircraft) and talk and get tips about construction!!! This will be big this year!!!
