Subject: | Re: Mike Cuy's Wheels |
Chris & Group,
Since I personally am a bit on the wide side I got wide wheels to
match:) Seriously---I'm glad to hear that you are at the stage where
you can start on your wire wheels. Excellent !
I looked and looked for aluminum alloy rims at motorcycle shops, motorcycle
salvage yards, you name it---and finally found a pair that
say on the side 3.5 x 19 and that is what size tire and tube I ordered as
well.
Some builders choose narrower and/or taller wheels like the 21" Henderson's
and I think they look just great too. Anything smaller
than 19" doesn't look proportional to the plane's size---this is just my
opinion but even Frank Pavliga went to taller rims when he saw my
19"s. (they were running 18" wheels for many years)

I believe Ben is correct, in that automotive epoxy paint is a Hard
paint. Wouldn't be a good choice for a fabric airplane, unless a flex
agent is used with it. I think the best way is to experiment with the
paint you are planning on using, by painting a piece of sheet metal, and
when it is cured, bend it and see if the paint cracks. Maybe someone
else has done this research, or knows what type paint they use on the
welds of crane equipment. (crack paint)

Anyone buy a tail wheel spring for the A-arm style tail wheel lately? I
know the John Deer part number but I was wondering if there were any
other
options. Anyone know what the Price tail wheel plans call for?

Chris and Group,
I found a pair of 21" x 3" aluminum rims at a motorcycle shop and paid
$20 for the pair (with tires!). Both tires were flat. When I removed
the old tires, I found that both rims were cracked. I ended up buying
new aluminum rims from Buchanan's when they laced up my hubs with new
custom spokes. I forget what the rims cost me but they were reasonable
and look great.

PS, That's my kind of plane. If I just didn't have
a plane in the backyard already........... :-)
CDAWSON5854@shaw.ca
You think that's funny, check you this seaplane at SNF. Its built from a regular
old aluminum fishing boat. Has a plastic lawn chair bolted down for a seat,
even retractable gear.
