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?

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.

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!

Currently +8C (+40F) sun shining and about 4-5" of snow on the ground think I should keep working on my Piet.
