I am and was a Fan of Tailwind. But - can't justify to build it as is. Plus - have some experience with composites, which i would like to use.

Also - have not found any topic about this great one airplane.

And absolutely like shape of fuselage for it. For me it is a total harmony. Sadly - plans are not available. Ironically - prototype was build after rc model. And plans for model do still exists. Some are attached.

Issues - looking for even more info, on how it was build then. And - i do not have any problems in seeing wings / tails / fin from foam solid core covered in carbon/fiberglass. Fuselage - some head scratching.

So - looking for any more info, not available from web. Especially about construction.

Do have an article, about fiberglass gear for it. Will send to any one requesting.
