I have a set of 5.00 cleveland wheels and brakes and was wondering if I could use
them on a split axel landing gear setup. I think they may be to small but
I would hate to waste them.
Thanks, J.J. Hoevelmann

If you want an opinion I'll give you a little one for what it might be worth.
I owned and flew a C-150D for many years and about 700 hrs, enough to get
acquainted with the bird. Landed in rice fields, Interstate -49, concrete
runways, asphalt runways and an assortment of sods you wouldn't believe. Even had
a
bull chase me around the pasture after a forced, oil line disconnected under
instrument panel. He must have thought I was something from the other world
looking for his heifers. Had a few other experiences that I'd rather not expose
for those FAA people to know about. Point is:
It had 5:00 wheels and brakes and it was a much heavier machine than our
Piets. Just an opinion and you'll probably gain 3 or 4 mph over the 6:00

I've been following the discussion on the fuel gauges and agree that the
"Stearman-type" gauge in the conventional location does have concerns. For
those not familiar with how this typically ends up looking, you can see one
at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/Pb030014.jpg and readily note that it is
in the area used by the passenger boarding from the port side (conventional
setup).
William Wynne, whose Corvair-powered Piet crashed a few years ago, was
burned due to this very situation. The fuel fittings in the sump/outlet
area broke off in the crash and spilled fuel into the cockpit area, where it
ignited. William is now advocating a setup with either a breakaway
flow-check fitting, or a different sump and fuel outlet connection since the
tank itself remained intact in the crash of his Piet. Any improvement on
the conventional outlet and gauge setup is a real plus.
