| Subject: | Motor Cycle rims |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Skip Gadd" <csfog@earthlink.net>
What a bummer!
I got 160 X 21 aluminum rims at a motor cycle junk yard in N Carolina 3 or
4 years ago. They look like the new rims on Frank Pavliga's ship and also
the wheels on Will Graff's Piet. Lately I have been working on them trying
to figure out the spoke pattern and such and deciding if I will lace them
myself or just send them to Buchanan's.
Any way I found that one has a crack about 1/2" at the weld. Looked at the
other rim and it is cracked on both sides, at the weld.
Do all aluminum rims get this way and just continue to get used?
or
Can they be welded?
or
Are these things junk?
Thanks,
Skip

We would love to have some of your cold out here in
Utah. If you have any snow to spare send it our way.
We are in our fifth year of drought and if we don't
get snow, we won't be able to water our lawns this
year.
Am just starting flying lessons this month. Been doing
the ground school on the internet. Take to the air for
the first time on Saturday. Hope to start my Piet in
March or April.

Wish I could Bruce! The 'light dusting' predicted for this AM is now up to
5" and still coming down.
Good luck on your lessons - I've been doing it in the opposit direction -
flying instruction first & I'll get to ground instruction later (I'm
readind a textbook in conjuction with my lessons, but it's not formal
ground instruction).
BTW, anyone who ever happens to be up this way, I want to recommend a visit
to the MAPS Air Museum at Akron-Canton Regional Airport. Our EAA chapter
took a field trip yesterday (several members of our Chapter are MAPS
members).
The museum is a 'work in progress', but they have a number of aircraft on
display in the old Air National Guard Hangar they recently acquired,
including a B-25, P-51, L-2, L-17 (Navion), the oldest known aircraft built
in OH (A 1908 'hang glider'), etc.
However, the neat part about the museum is that they have a number of
projects under restoration in their workshop area, includind a B-26
(rescued from the Yukon), PT-19, T-28, SBD, and MIG-17 (you can get into
the cocpit of the MIG),among others. The cool part is that the workshop is
part of the exhibit & you can wander around looking at everything & talking
with various volunteers who are doing the restoration work.
Anyway, it was a great way to spend a cold January afternoon (why is it
that big, old hangars always seem colder than the outside?).
Now back to my own project!
Cheers!

Winter weather isn't so bad. Currently +8C (+40F)
sun shining and about 4-5" of snow on the ground
think I should keep working on my Piet.
