05/01/2004. Remarks by Eut Tileston (pictured): "Made from a Tailwind kit, during construction it was so highly modified that it is hardly a Tailwind anymore, modifications include: Folding wings Tricycle landing gear (required changes to fuselage and motor mount) Full span flaperons Modified fin and rudder (mostly shape). I finished my "Tailwind" in 1963 in a blue colorscheme and had it registered as Tileston Drag'N'Fly, with the c/n JET 101. Later modifications were: Repainted in yellow Cross over exhaust Ram air induction (ala Mooney) New cowl More fairings These changes increased the speed about 20 mph (32 kmh)."
