Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:48 am Post subject: Tail Wind Project For sale

On the way back from a trip to  Louisiana, I landed  at Walker County Airport (KJFX) Alabama to refuel.  While refueling a  gentleman came over and introduced himself as Ed Banks.  Mentioned that  he  had an RV-6 and invited me to see it.  Very nice RV with clean  paint lines.  While in his hangar I noticed he had a Tailwind with the  wings off which he was restoring. 

  

 Ed stated that he had built new wings, had a newly  overhauled O-295, new Plexiglas all around  and had complete the  process of recovering.  The cloth needs one more coat of aluminum UV  blocker before applying paint. I believe he also had a new instrument panel  blank.  He had new lightweight fiberglass cowling components as  well.

  

 Citing insufficient time to complete it, Ed would like to  find a buyer for it as a project.  I asked him what he wanted for the  project and he quoted me an attractive price.  I must admit I was tempted  as I have the plans for a TailWind that I had once planned on building, but I  also lack the time.

  

  

 So if anyone is interested or knows of a Tailwind list  where someone might be interested, please contact Ed direct.

  

 His e mail is IFLYRV6N264EB(at)AOL.Com (IFLYRV6N264EB(at)AOL.Com)  his cell  phone is 205-522-0539

I can personally vouch for Ed Banks. He is part of our Tennessee Valley 

RV group, an honest fellow, and whatever he tells you about the Tailwind 

is the way it is.

Ed,

 Is this newly overhauled O-295  a mixed breed between a O-235 and a O-290?  More out of curiosity then anything else,  but would you mind sharing with us this attractive price you were  quoted? Thanks...

Wouldn't it be much better to contact Ed Banks. the Tailwind owner, 

directly for this information?

Sam,

 Wouldn't the absence of all  information limit this gentlemen's projects exposure, thereby greatly  affecting its marketability, as well as hindering a  potential sale ??  

 I'd rather put all the  information out there and then get call's only from interested parties ( even  they do take a great deal of weeding out qualified buyers)

  

 Just my $0.02 on sales technique

Konrad, I guess if the plane for sale was mine, I would want interested 

parties to get detailed, first-hand, totally accurate info straight from 

me instead of from someone whom I happened to meet on an airport ramp....



Ed Anderson provided Mr. Banks' contact info, I suspect in order to 

encourage interested folks to contact the seller directly. But if Ed 

Anderson wishes to answer your inquiry, I'm sure he will.



I'm done.

Hi Konrad,

  

 I really don't know anything more about the engine - I fly  behind a Mazda Rotary so the Lycomings other than the 320 and 360 series are a  mystery.  I could have had a memory slip and gotten the engine  designation wrong.

  

 As far as the price, I would feel better if you got that  from Ed Banks himself.  He struck me as a straight dealer and the  suitability of  price is, of course,  in the eye of the guy  holding the greenbacks {:>).  

  

 Ed

Actually, Ed Banks did not ask me to spread the word. When I found out he 

was interested in selling his project,  I volunteered to distribute the 

news.   Not only to the RV list (which might know of someone interested), 

but also to the TailWind list.  I thought I would be simply helping someone 

get rid of a project they did not have time for and to help someone looking 

for a reasonable way to get airborne.



 I get no $$ out of it.  Don't know about Ed Banks, but some folks just 

don't feel comfortable trying to use a computer.



I'm not the broker {:>), just the messenger - please don't shoot {:>)
