Oct 8, 2008 · For some reason i have been drawn to the W10 Tailwind, but i have a question. The original wing construction is built up wing with ply wood skins. I'm thinking of substituting the built up ribs with foam and having a fiberglass skin, using the same spars. Using the construction technique from a kr2. Is there any problem with this?

Jan 13, 2016 · For sale are a set of plans for a Wood CF-4. Asking $400. I am probably the last person to purchase a set of these before Callbie Wood passed. Metal Tailwind Wing plans are $100 OBO. Not many fast, 4 seat, high wing tail draggers out there. There is a lot of Tailwind in the CF-4 so lots...

Mar 30, 2007 · Noob here again, I'd like to discuss the Steve Whitman W-10 Tailwind. 1) Tube+rag = lots of time vs. lots of money when compared to AL structures, correct? Time I got, money comes and goes. 2) Is this airframe suitable for VW power? Apparently because you can put "big" Lycoming and...

Aug 31, 2010 · The Tailwind was designed for speed!" I just think it is one of the best looking high wing monoplanes you can build, but would prefer to fly something a little slower and in the LSA range. Tiger Tim

Jul 30, 2014 · The Tailwind is always the best bang for the buck in a performance homebuilt. (Jim Rust's O-320 Tailwind, just about the best of the breed, embarrasses RV-4's, 6's and 7's on a daily basis) Continental C-85 with electric start, 3 blade propeller.

Apr 21, 2005 · I bought the plans, Clement mods, and Stanton assembly manual after I sold my Tailwind project thinking that I would start another one. It's just not in the cards for me right now. NOTE- the rib drawings were sold with my previous project, so the plans need those. I was gonna build metal wings from Callbie Wood so I didn't need them. Included-

Apr 30, 2024 · My recollection is that he built around 11 Tailwinds. I'm not sure if that included his version of the Buttercup and a larger version of the Tailwind. He came up with some changes to the design that many recent builders have incorporated, and was probably the most knowledgeable person on the Tailwind design since Steve Wittman died years ago.
