Gosh Larry I kind of like the looks of this aircraft...

After looking at your shots especially the cockpit shot I did a little Google search....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittman_TailwindI would have bet my old two holer that it was a two seat aircraft...am sure I have seen several of them but the information say's it is a one seater...

You are finding some unique aircraft...keep up the great work and wonderful shots also...

It's a two-seater. There's a lot of good info on Wikipedia, but I ALWAYS cross-check with another source or three.
Okay, wait. I just looked at the entry. The first line reads, "The Wittman Tailwind is a popular two-seat light aircraft for homebuilding." Where did you get the idea that it's a single seater?
Great shots, BTW!

Thanks.

The paint is great, the wings, tail, and vc are great. It's just the shape of the fuse that's less than pleasing to the eye.
