Subject: New Tailwind config

Here is what I suggest Jerry.
The side exhaust will look cool. Just like a mini
Cessna Caravan with a PT6 :) Simple tangential muffler.
You can fab a square exhaust pipe if you wish.
Gives plenty of room under the engine for both rads.
Oil on the right side. Separate ducts.

Hey Paul that is a very nice detail you did with the Tailwind. By any chance do you have an RV-6
drawing like that in Rhino with a Turbo? I think it would be great if builders would submit to you
different configurations and when someone new to the list asked it would be easy to resource maybe
off of the ACRE web site. I know your plate is full but it truely would help circulate interest
for successful project completions. Has Charlie Dunlap ever given you a layout? My motor is in the
test mode with the coatings and is still a ways from being installed into the fuse. These graphics
sure make it easier to dream about it at night...lol

Actually an RV6 and a Tailwind are very similar. Dick Van copied
the landing gear mount. I'll check I may have something for an RV6.
