AMEN to that!

I would venture a guess that of all the Pietenpol builders out there,
Bernard probably made more modifications and did more experimenting with
his
original plans than any almost builder since. I guess that makes him
one of
the greatest "defilers" of the original design.

Chris,
What are "rim pins" and how do they work? Of course I am sure I won't need
them, as all my landings will be like a bird's feather dropping to the
ground. :)

| Subject: | Continental engine dataplate |
If anyone happens to have a closeup photo of a Continental engine dataplate
(A50 through 90) and could email it to me directly (not to the list), I'd
appreciate it. I'm away from the hangar where my own A65 is and I'm trying
to restore some obliterated data from an engine that I've acquired.
Thanks. do not archive

I was checking out the wheel kits on the Airdrome Aeroplanes website.
They look really good.
Since they do not list any specifications, it's kind of hard to tell
exactly what they are offering. Don't know what size axel they are made
to fit. From the photos it looks like the hubs are 6" wide, and the
overall diameter of the tires is 25" (maybe 19" rims?), which sounds
good for a Pietenpol. Do any of you guys have any more detailed
specifications?
Regarding pricing, the website says "Two welded hubs sell for $195 per
pair" and "Wheel kits ready to be laced with 2 tires, 2 tubes and 2
bearing sets sell for $495. This also includes a step-by-step detailed
video."
I assume that they also include the rims, spokes, etc. Does anyone know
if the wheel kits include the hubs, or do you have to buy both (which
would make the price actually $690 a pair).
If the wheel kits include the hubs, would they sell the kit minus the
hubs ($300?)

I drove by the Harley Davidson dealer earlier today and saw bikes out
there with front wheels that look like what you guys are using.These
wheels are already made up.Might cost a bit more but less work for
somebody if they where interested.

Bill,
Enjoyed your post....regardless of Axel size.....their wheels are utilized on
a good many of their planes which are much heavier than the pietenpol. To me
the overall set and cost make them very competitive and I am tending to lean their
way.....As for axel size....I am sure their axel size has been tested and
I'll bet it is very close to what we are useing.

Rim pins are pins that project into the bead of the tire to hold it to
prevent rotation of the tire and tube. If this happen it will shear off
the valve stem and your tire will go flat. See attached picture.
