I failed to get the name of the builder, but It is an aircamper. For the life of me, I can't remember where I have seen these end parts that are welded into the end of the tube. I thought I had seen them at one time in Wicks catalog, which is why I failed to get the builders name. Can anyone identify this plane or this part and tell me where I can get some? dennis engelkenjohn ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 05:41:25 PM PST US From: "Gene & Tammy" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: landing gear end Dennis, It appears to me to be a "Pushrod forked end fitting" found on page 143 of the aircraft spruce catalog.
