Mike Logback - Wittman Tailwind

Mike purchased this nice Wittman Tailwind which had been started from plans by Ed Jones.  That technically makes it a sort of "quick build" project for Mike. but you know what they say - "When it's 90% done, only 90% of the work remains."  Get to it Mike, I can't wait to see it fly.

There are no photos of the wings which are presently in storage but the rest of the project looks pretty nice.  Just click on the photo links below for a big picture.

Some Statistics on the Tailwind are as follows:

Length: 19'6" Engine: Cont. 85,90,100 or 145 HP;    Lyc. 108-160 HP
Wing Span: 24' Cruising Speed (Vc): 150 to 190 MPH
