    Whitman Tailwind
    Something about the lines of a Tailwind have always caught my eye. Kind of like the Predecessor to the RV in sorts. Just saw one for one sale today for $12,500 with no engine due to it making metal. Was set up for a 235 and just flew to Osh this year. Wasn't a basketcase by any means. A person could have an airplane with the speed or an early Mooney for 20 grand. I think if I ever find myself in a position for a second airplane to travel in I would have to look pretty seriously at one. The only thing I didn't like in the one I sat in was the tank right in front of you. Anyone here ever flown one or tinkered with one?

  10. tcj added a post in a topic EGT Instrument Recommendations?   

    I bought my kit complete with a 503 Rotax.  The old Skystar substituted a Cylinder head temp gauge for the water temp they supplied with the 582.  Cylinder head temperature is critical on air cooled engines.
    Side story.  I attended a Rotax two stroke engine forum at Arlington a couple years ago.  The speaker was Phil Lockwood.  During his talk he asked "What is the minimum Cylinder head temperature needed with a 503 before take off".  I wondered, this must be a trick question, everyone knows that, so stayed quiet.  Everyone else in the crowd did too.  So I figured what the heck and answered, 200 degrees.  He didn't say a word, reached under the table and pulled out a fancy $25 Rotax hat and tossed it to me.

  11. tcj added a post in a topic WORRY-FREE GAS CAPS AND PITOT TUBES   

    I have the Kind Ed has.  I still have the box they came in and checked the part number at Spruce and it comes up with the heavy duty ones shown in his Spruce link.  I like the looks of those better but they are high dollar items.  I think I paid about $1.50 each 10 years ago.  I trailer my kitfox for each flight so didn't put one on the pitot tube.  My pitot cover is a length of 1/2 inch climbing webbing with the end melted shut.  I left a wing tank fuel cap off one time so make it a habit to reach up and tighten the cap on my preflight walk around.  I guess I should give the flapper a flip too.

    I don't know if I'd use them on fuel tank pitots, because abquicknflip may be hard to reach and quickly forgotten.  If I really felt the need to cover the fuel pitots, I'd use a streamer cap.

    Worked well on my C172 pitot tube, but like others it needed a quick flip on preflight to make sure it was free moving.

    I have them on the pitot, but not the fuel caps on the yellow plane.  They were on all 3 of the mangy fox. 
    For or me the pitot cap has stuck a couple of times, but as Joey says just give it a little flip on the walk around and it will be fine.

    Joey, sorry to hear about the debit card fraud (BTDT) and about the lousy, archaic service at Avemco.   I bet they still use fax machines and a Xerox copier. 8)

    I've had one of these on my plane since I acquired it. It stuck closed once. I just give it a little flip during the preflight to check it. A stiff breeze will open it.

    I need to put batteries in my camera and get a better photo - this is factory made - no adhesive - just a small screw tightening clamp to tube.

    You might try graphite powder.  Usually the preferred method for lubing keyed switches.

    These function fine - They are delicate tho - guess if you are too rough with them they may not pivot easily - it don't take much wind to open them.   The one you showed in Spruce is different than these   Maybe try Wicks?

    WORRY-FREE GAS CAPS AND PITOT TUBES
    I have seen gas caps and pitot tubes with the end flared and a screen soldered over the end, screens fastened on with band clamps, rubber caps put over the end of them when parked, and the owners forgot to remove them before taking off which leads to some unforeseen conclusions.
    Here is a little gizmo that keeps the bugs and rain out of your cap tubes and your pitot tubes, and should be worry free as long as it pivots freely and opens up when the air pushes against the little paddle on top, and closes automaticly when there is no air blowing over it.
    Just one way of doing it.  Sorry for the fuzzy photos - got to check camera.   EDMO

    AKFLYER,  
    That sounds like a plan, I will hook the AC hour meter to the two yellow wires going into the rectifier/regulator that come from the AC generator on the 582.  
    Thanks

    PS I am glad everyone found a place to communicate.
