It's like a high-wing Thorp :d

That was the very first thing I thought when I saw it.

Your doing a bang up there Lionheart, good job!!

Really great news, Bill.

Actually got to meet Steve Wittman at Oshkosh, '88 I think. He flew his original Tailwind there too.

cheers,
steve

Dear Lionheart,

you know that I love everything you do, including the Tailwind.
However.....
If you want to sell a million of them and make LOTS of people happy, how about the Beech Starship.
We need one badly!!!

Thanks for your consideration,
Bob

There's a Tailwind at my airport. Small little bugger!

Hey Bob,

One has been in the process for quite some time. It should be nearing completion. Just a little bit longer.

The author of it hangs out in the 'freeflightdesign.com' forums. Great work on it...

Yeah they are..

There are some YouTube movies on these. One shows an interview with Steve Wittman. He walks up to his inverted V-8 Buick powered Tailwind, bows under the wing and easily/gracefully slips into the pilots seat. How? Its so darn small and he made it look so easy.... lol.
