This package now features 3 aircraft; the Wittman Tailwind W-8 Series and the W-10 series and the Tri-Gear W-10.  
The W-8 series has both versions of landing gear; regular and wheel skirts.

The two W series aircraft both fly slightly different, with the W-10 having a high performance engine and the W-8 having a more common powerplant.  The W-10 will cruise at 180 MPH (not Knots) and will max out at 200 MPH.  The W-8 cruises at 140 to 160 MPH and maxes out at 180 MPH.

Instrument panels are also different between the two models.  The panel in the W-10 is much more elaborate and includes an avionics stack, while the W-8 is equipped with  minimal instrumentation needed for flight.
