Luke's W10 Tailwind

Luke Gambrill bought  this tailwind august 26-2011. It is powered by a lycoming 0-320 with a custom plenum which necessitated modification to the fiberglass cowl. The engine sports a pair of p-mags and uses automotive spark plugs with special high tension leads that prevents radio interference.

The seats are naugahyde with the tailwind monogram on the seat backs.

There's a 12 gallon reserve tank in the baggage compartment for extended range.

After repairing the tail wheel, rebuilding the brakes and realigning the main gear wheels, he is very happy with his tailwind.

The latest mod is a Dynon in the

By removing the aluminum brake pedals and replacing with these, he gained an inch and a half of leg room.
