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: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/grove60x6.php 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: http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Bill%20Rewey/IMG_0393.JPG A pic of Tim Mickel's gear appears to show a similar setup, although it's not quite as clear: http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/Tim%20Mickel/DSCF0157.JPG 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!

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 / ????
