Pieters & GN-1'ers: I missed the posting about cutting 4130 steel with a woodcutting
bandsaw. I just acquired a Delta 14" woodcutting bandsaw and would like
to know how to slow it down to be able to cut 4130 steel. Thanks, Jim Cooper

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ted,
I used 4130 alloy tubing, 1 1/2" x 1.25" wall thickness. I then welded in
the ends some J-3 Cub axles so that I could use tapered bearings and a Cub
axle nut. This assembly then went into hubs for spoked wheels that I made
up.
Because of our altitude, (7946') and the extra weight of the plane due to a
heavier engine, the landings are fast, I have to come across the fence at 70
plus to get any float at all during the flair. Finding this out in the
first few flights resulted in some pretty rough landings and a couple of
excursions off into the toolies. I am sure that I had dropped the plane in
a couple of times from at least 4'. I then sighted down the axle, and sure
enough, it had taken a slight bend from the rough treatment. I then
straightened it out and had no problems since. At least we now know the
limits that this size axle will take! I would suggest this size and you
will be prepared for most any kind of landing.

The Christavia, a Canadian design, uses solid wires with threaded ends and
instead of forks uses motorcycle spoke nipples.
The nipples pass through the spar on the neutral axis and bear against
washers on angled blocks.

The GN-1 calls for solid wire for drag/anti drag. I'll be doing mine with
that method. The ends of the wires are threaded and have forks. I believe
the Aeronca Champ is the same way.

Thanks John.
This brings up a question. If motorcycle type wheels are going to be used
on a straight axle what is the need for threading a nut. Wouldn't a simple
flange drilled and bolted through the axle be enough?
