• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Really great news, Bill. :applause:

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

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...

:d

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.
