Any kin to Ted Hodgson who was a Program Manager at Chance Vought A/C and
developed a beautiful model of an 18-cylinder radial engine?

I got a small roll of flashing from Home Depot, cut to width on my band saw
(wood blade) and screwed it on. It's really thin. Nothing flew off yet

No, if anyone is interested in wire wheels they should contact me . . .
I've got two pairs, one more than I need.

Lowell Frank wrote up a neat article that is on Gran't old BPA website
still-------GREAT reading for any of you Ford powered guys. Met Lowell in
1999 with his Ford Piet (now has a radial in it) and this guy knows his
Ford engines. He can make them reliable and put out some good
power. Check this out if you

Because so many of you asked about the wheels, and because I posted this all
before and received no responses, I am responding to the list rather than
individually. You guys can "talk amongst yourselves."
I have now two pairs of wheels. Neither pair has, or is set up to accept
brakes. One pair are original aircraft wheels from the 1920's. They do not
appear to have ever been mounted on an airplane because there is no wear
whatsoever on the bushings. They are 24x4 wheels as called for in the
plans, which means that the rim diameter is 16" and the tire is 4" tall, for
a total of 24". The axle size is 1 1/2", the bub width is 6". I
disassembled them at the Smithsonian restoration facility and bead blasted
and chemical treated the entire wheels, ordered new spokes from Buchanan's
(because of rusty spokes) and trued up the wheels, painted black chromate
primer.
The other pair are 26x4 wheels that were built up, I believe, as part of a
batch that were made at Brodhead. You can see several examples on various
projects around Brodhead. 26x4 wheels are also mentioned on the plans. The
wheel is 18" rim to rim, with a 4" tire. Same 1 1/2" axle, same 6" wide
hub, these are stainless hubs, I believe the rims are aluminum, and new
spokes. They have tires and tubes already on them, some kind of motorcycle
tires. I paid a fairly stiff price for these, although it is the going
price for all of the sets of these wheels I have seen go up for sale, which
has been rare.
I have no strong feelings at this time which ones I end up using. I have
pros and cons about both, although I am leaning toward the larger wheels
just for looks. I will be going to Brodhead, and would deliver the wheels
there if someone wants one pair or the other. I will not have room to take
the wheels just to show, as I will be bringing home my Model A engine from
Dick Weeden's at Brodhead.

Will, I have contact info for the one for sale at
Arlington if you want.
It's on Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada.
He's an EAA member and I'm sure would be
happy to answer any questions you have.

In our "for what it's worth dept" I finally weighed the piet this weekend.
I was amazed. 602 lbs. I thought that it would be a lot more.
My CG with my big butt is at 17.9. hmm that's under 20 so I'm ok.
