It was one of the first aircraft to fly in the United States using a VW engine. The prototype flew with a Huggins VW conversion. To use a standard propeller, a patented PRSU (propeller speed reducing unit) was developed to keep the engine RPM high and propeller RPM at its optimum speed. The design was inspired by the Demoiselle by Alberto Santos-Dumont. The fuselage is triangular sections of welded tube steel covered in fabric.

I got the videos on the Headwind from the address below. I thank Michael very much for the message identifying the owner.

Don Don,
If you click on the actual URL for the videos and watch them on Youtube rather than embedded in the original email I sent you can see that the videos are on Tim Stover's channel who in fact is the owner of that Headwind. I am sure a comment on any of those videos will establish contact with Tim. |

The LWB Audi A8L starts at £60k
It is fair to say that everything you could want to know about the 2010 /2011 Audi A8 is already here for you to read. We covered the original reveal of the Audi A8 back in 2009 (yep, it’s been around that long) and we even updated that article with UK A8 prices when we got them. A few months later we got the details of the long wheelbase Audi A8.

Owners of 2005-2008 Maserati Quattroportes, 2008 GranTurismos, and the 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C should expect to hear from dealers soon as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall this past week. The recall is for tie-rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection, which then leads to rust and weakening of the units. This unit could fail completely, causing the driver of the vehicle to lose control.
