Hi All, My name is Dennis, I've been lurking on the list for awhile. I really like the Tailwind and the Bearhawk. Tube, fabric, wood and aluminum, this is what...

Tailwind flier Dick Alkire also flies low and slow. See the picture at the address shown. Lou Owen http://members.aol.com/bpabpa7315/alkire.html...
Lou: I was flying in formation with Dick in my Pietenpol (N91467), when the prop came off and he crashed it. It is still crashed and hanging in his hangar. ...

We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. West Coast Tailwind Flyin Date: Sunday, June 9, 2002 Time: 8:30AM - 12:30PM PDT (GMT-07:00) Tailwind (and...
Dennis, if you want a Bearhawk, I suggest that you build one. The materials and methods are similar to the Tailwind and you will need to learn the methods for...
Don't forget you guys that may have to fly more than one fuel stop that you can stop at Merced on Saturday the 8th to make the trip more worthwhile. Meced of...
I have an event to mention, too. June 7th is thefirst day of the annual 70 Knotters fly-out, camp out. We are starting from Brodhead, WI this year and are...
Dennis, I tend to agree with Eric: If you want a Bearhawk, start with that. I'm building the Metal wings for my tailwind. The aircraft has not flown and I have...
Dennis: Regarding the wood and metal kits. I ordered a wood kit from As&S. It correlated somewhat with the plans.... Their metal kit doesn't match in hardly...
Thanks for the info. I thought that I read the same on another list somewhere. You would think that A&S would do a better job on the kits, seeing as they own...
I studied the plans and made up my own list. My wings have the wood tips and can be seen on the Yahoo T/W site. So far I have enough material with just the...
Yes it is. That may sound like a narrow margin but is fairly wide and like someone else said may go as far back as 30% which is about 14 inches back. I...
We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. 1st West Coast Tailwind Fly-in Date: Monday, June 10, 2002 Time: 8:30AM - 3:30PM PDT (GMT-07:00) First West...
No--That was an erroneous reminder that got into the forum calendar. It is gone now, but hopefully not to late! See all of you tomorrow--SUNDAY JUNE 9. Dave ...
While re-building the strut ends for the stubs as shown in the plans, I just happened to measure the inside dimension of the upper wing strut attachment...
... early TW plans maybe called for that, I'm not sure. Anyway, I would cut out a area about 4" on both sides of the spar and glue a 1/8" birch ply on each...
That's what I thought. According to the builders log, the wings were built Aug - Nov of 1990, the struts are 2.3" X 1" and they look to be at least .049. The...
We had a very successful fly-in, five tailwinds flew in and mine was already there so that made six in one place at one time in the West--A record I believe!!...
Dave, Thanks for doing that. Next time we can all hope for better wx; what do you think about name badges? I would have liked to have talked to Jerry Hey and...
I seen this on Ebay and thought I would pass it on. These are very rare so if you need one take a look. In my opinion these can be had for $50 if you try hard...
