It seems that a lot of Tailwinds were taildraggers. Also Steve Witman designes several other airplanes, mostly of the racer variety. He was a race pilot from way back and lived to be an old man.

The example pictured is a British-build variant by Andrew J.E.Perkins (AJEP) who acquired rights to market kits in the UK. Not the prettiest version, this particular model was aimed at the MoD as a radio-controlled Target Tug, but the contract was never awarded.

I'm glad to see a Tailwind in the Virtual Museum.
If you are iinterested in some later examples of this design, many photos are available.
