Maybe. However comma, as a Jurassic member of the VAF, I believe the questions are timeless, and still relevant.

I have read and benefited from many of your comments Smoky, Jurassic or otherwise! Thanks for your contributions.

I was thinking about this thread today, I was lucky enough to reposition a friends W-10 Tailwind. A whole lot of bang for the buck, roughly 175 mph true at about 21 MP and 2300 RPM and 3500 Pressure Altitude (zoom in).


Although I've got a baker's dozen hours or more in this plane (5 years or more ago) I was too busy re-acquainting myself with Mr. Wittman's design to remember a whole lot from the flight. The ailerons weren't as responsive as the RV, and the pitch and rudder were more responsive. But a very fast predictable aircraft that requires a little more finesse than an RV but just as much (if not more) style!
