This auction is for a complete set of 22 prints for the  STEWART HEADWIND 1 PLACE AIRCRAFT. They are in like new condition and have never been used. These plans were produced by 

The Stewart Headwind JD1HW1.7 and SAC-1VW is a single-seat high-wing tube-and-fabric construction homebuilt aircraft. The first Headwind was flown on March 28, 1962. 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.  A Volkswagen air-cooled engine was the only engine specified for this model, however many examples exist with alternate engine installations.

Headwinders,

I've just completed the design of a detachable cold weather enclosure for the Headwind and it'll be included in the sets of Headwind prints. If you already have a set of prints and would like to have the new enclosure prints, the price is $20.00 sent post paid

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

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.

"Carry-on" engine will power Le Mans racer

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

NISSAN will this year compete in the famous Le Mans 24-hour race using a revolutionary 1.5-litre, 400bhp engine that’s small enough to qualify as carry-on luggage. The astonishing new technology produces more power per kilogram of engine weight than the 2014 Formula 1 engines, and what’s more it’s set to lead to road car technology. And while the engine block is too heavy to take onto a plane as hand luggage, its 50cm height, 40cm length and 20cm width makes it small enough.

Drayson electric racer breaks four speed records

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

A BRITISH electric racing car has set four new land speed records on the same day. The Drayson Racing prototype racing car, which is powered solely by electricity, set new benchmarks for speeds over one mile and one kilometre with a flying start, plus a new standing quarter-mile acceleration record. The fourth record, subject to ratification, is a British land speed record for cars of any type driven by their wheels over one mile from a flying start.

Infiniti European range launched

Wed, 05 Mar 2008

By Ben Barry Motor Shows 05 March 2008 14:45 What’s new on the Infiniti stand at Geneva? Nissan’s upmarket Infiniti brand officially launched its European range in Geneva, essentially a slimlined and simplified interpretation of its US model line-up: G37 coupe and saloon, EX37 coupe crossover and an all-new V8 coupe crossover to sit at the top of the range: the FX50. The latter model is essentially a scaled up EX37, though the nose treatment is notably bluffer and, to our eyes, a little too severe.
