So I had an interesting conversation with my wife tonight...and SHE brought it up. While talking about working on the Tailwind this morning, she says "I really wish you would just build another RV."
What's a good husband to do? Anybody wanna buy a Tailwind fuselage???

Hmmm, I think you must proceed with caution until you truly ascertain her motivations.
Why does she want you to build another one?

It's all about the looks my friends. Every time she sees a Tailwind, she does this funky thing with her eyes. I LOVE the look of the Tailwind...Brittne, not so much!

Hmm, well, to be honest buddy, if you aren't going to keep it, then I would say find a way to amicably build what you want. If you are becoming a serial builder then the looks don't really matter over the long term
On the other hand if it looks better to her and she wants to keep it and travel, then you have your answer. If momma aint happy .....

The good news is that with all the recent press regarding Tailwinds it should be easy to unload.

Does Ben Still have his -7 Kit for sale?
If I were going serial, I would get someone else's kit and finish it!
I say build another RV!
Keep the TW on the side. It would be your scoot around plane and it would really fill out your resume when they are both done!

Just go ahead and build a -14 for me, Chad. (I didn't buy your -7 because the nosewheel was installed incorrectly.)

Put that TW on barnstormers, order another 7 or 8 and get after it! I love spending other peoples money

Didn't even have to list it...I mentioned this on the Tailwind Yahoo group today, and it sold within the hour!
I'm really leaning toward the 9 this time around.

I don't think we'll be going thru all of that again!

Hmm, a -9? Great choice!!! With an -8, I doubt Brit would want to look at the back of your head, assuming she will fly often. Really comes down to whether you want to do acro or not between the 7 or 9 (and the slightly more docile manners on the latter). Will be neat if you start this - keep us posted.

Such a good choice. That's the understated hero of the family. Of course you could build at -10 equip it the way I want and then happen to sell it to me

Does this mean you're going to count rivets again?

Great choice Chad. Is the order in yet?
