| Subject: | Split axle gear axle attach method |
Good morning all,
I have a question about the method others have used to attach a "Cessna
style" axle to the axle end of their split-axle gear. We are in the process
of getting our vees welded up, so I want to make sure what we are looking at
doing sounds correct.
We are using 6.00x6 wheels and tires. I found a used set from a wind damaged
150 on Barnstormers for a decent price, and they should be winding their way
through the USPS as I speak. They come with axles; if the axles are
serviceable I will use them, if not I will probably pick up a set of Grove
axles:

It would appear to me that one of the methods used to provide an attach
point for these axles is to weld a circular plate to the gear end, and then
bolt the axle to that plate. For reference here's a link to a shot of Bill
Rewey's gear from WestCoastPiet:

A pic of Tim Mickel's gear appears to show a similar setup, although it's
not quite as clear:

Does that sound like a good method for providing an attach point for the
axles? If so, does anyone have a recommendation for the steel thickness we
should fab the mounting plate out of?
Thanks, and have a Happy Easter!
Ryan

Gentleman:
I have decided to upgrade to a little more power and a smoother engine.
The Model A engine is a great engine and runs great but by its design
there is a vibration that I feel uncomfortable with, mainly because I
fly helicopters for a living and any vibs are a no no.
So I will be entertaining offers for NX920Y aircamper built by Don Hicks
in 2004, The engine has 50+ hours todate and the air-frame is 19+ hour.
I flew the airplane today and it was great. I do not wish to take the
aircraft apart to re-engine the aircraft. Don built as close as possible
to the original plans Pietenpol, and I would love to see the aircraft
stay in tack as it was built.
If I'm unable to sell the aircraft as a unit I would like to sell the
engine, firewall forward to include the mount, prop, radiator and tack,
plus cowling. I plan to replace the Model A with a Corvair engine. Or if
I find a buyer I will purchase someone else's project and complete it
with the Corvair engine.
So I am advertising the aircraft local for $13,500.00
Make offers / trades / ????
