Ryan,
Fond memories of Olson Airport. I had my Champ tied-down behind the big hangar
back in 1976-81. Really couldn't afford an airplane, but had it anyway. Was so
poor I had to take it apart and store it in my garage in the winter. Couldn't
afford the $25.00/mo. tie-down fee!!? Good luck!!!!

We are very happy to say that we have finally found somewhere we can put our Piet
project! We will be renting the main level of a 125 year old barn at Olson
Airport (private, LL53). Lot's of space, and our Piet will now be 1 hour from
our place instead of 2.5. We haven't made much actual build progress this year,
but I think overall we have made the most progress this year. We purchased Del
Magsam's project, so we have the basic fuse and wing complete (although we
will be cutting the wing in half). We have, and will shortly be receiving, many
engine parts. And we now have space where we can build our Piet, that we can
actually get to often!

Very Cool, Ryan! Was that Jess in the pictures? I could have sworn she was
blonde last year at Brodhead. Or is that your "airplane mistress" in the
pictures?
Even one hour away still makes building an airplane much more of a
challenge. I built mine in my basement - don't know if I would have been
able to finish it if I had to drive an hour each way, then get there and
realize I had not brought some tool I needed. My hat's off to you.
Looking forward to seeing you and your blonde or brunette wife at Brodhead
in a few more days.

| Subject: | opinions on ebay motorcycle wheels? |
Ken,
You will likely get the usual discussion on the pros & cons of using
motorcycle wheels, so you will have to make your own decision on that. I
bought 21=94 Harley Sportster wheels with the bearings replaced to
receive 1=94
axles. I then used Dick Navatril=92s idea of an 1 =BC=94 axle (tube)
with
step-down tubes installed. My step-down tubes run in about 18=94 on each
end,
with the 1=94 OD axle being the last. I had to actually mil this one as
it was
.004=94 over 1=94!
=93Wheels 1=94 shows that the Harley hub has 5 pre-drilled and threaded
holes
for the disc brake set up on motorcycles. I match-drilled this layout on
my
drub brake shoe and attached the shoe with a cover disc (=931187=94).
The wheels you are showing have a very interesting spoke attach method,
and
you may be challenged to find a way to attach brakes, either disc or
drum.
I am certainly no expert, and mine is not flight-proven. Good luck!!
Gary Boothe

Anyone with motorcycle wheel experience care to offer an opinion on
these
dirt bike wheels?
Think they'd be strong enough to handle the side loads? Any thoughts on
attaching brakes? Machining them for a bigger axle? Or could keep the
existing bearings with a solid axle?
I've emailed to ask hub width and axle diameter but haven't heard back
yet.
Looks like the hub width is maybe 3 inches?

Mike,
The barn looks very livable to me as well. I have a Hennessy Hammock which
will lash up nicely between the supports; a small refrigerator and a
microwave and we'll be good to go. :P
We actually have had Del's old project since early this year, but we have
had to store it at a friend's house that is about 2.5 hours away. Suffice to
say no work has been done on it. Now we should be able to get things
accomplished! See you in a few days; have a safe trip.

Hi Jack,
That was Jess; she is my airplane mistress. :P She also confirmed that she
was indeed blonde last year at Brodhead. Good memory.
We would love to have the airplane even closer, but that's the best we can
do for now. We go out to Elgin quite frequently, as Jess's mother lives
there. This airport is only 15 minutes from her door. While one hour from u
s
is not ideal, it's still far better than 2.5 hours away. I plan on moving m
y
large tool box and most of my tools there, so we should be good to go in th
e
tool department. We'll see how it all works out, but we're pretty enthused.
It's light at the end of the tunnel. :P
Have a good day, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Ah, you must be pretty close - where do you fly out of? I'll have to
swing by and see your progress - I'll use any excuse to fly off the 20
hours the insurance company wants before I can take passengers.

Billy M.,
We camped next to a nice pickup camper at Brodhead in 2006. The owners brought
a Weimaraner and a Persian cat, and walked them both on leashes (yes, the cat!).
No one objected and in fact, Ron and I both thought it added to the scene.
We were all very well behaved ;)

Hello all,
Plans call for filler strips (spruce 1/8" x 1/4") between gussets on fuselage.
I'm not confident my old table saw can cut consistent strips that thin. Anything
wrong with using 1/8" Finnish birch plywood strips? Any other gotchas out there?
Looking forward to Brodhead/Osh!!
Thanks
Steve

That will work, Steve - it's just a bit heavier.
I actually made my strips 1/4" of spruce - easier to work with (you can use
left over rib capstrip material) it gets the fabric a bit further off the
plywood. My stringers stood about 2" high off the plywood at the highest
point (mid fuselage), tapering fore and aft to fit flush against the filler
strips at the firewall and to blend into the tailpost at the rear. Just
think how you want the fabric to flow and give it support to make it do what

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage strips
Hello all,
Plans call for filler strips (spruce 1/8" x 1/4") between gussets on
fuselage. I'm not confident my old table saw can cut consistent strips that
thin. Anything wrong with using 1/8" Finnish birch plywood strips? Any other
gotchas out there?
Looking forward to Brodhead/Osh!!
Thanks
Steve

Thanks Gary. That's a beautiful setup you have. I have no machining skills
or tools so I'm trying to figure out a way to do it as simply as possible
with the split axle gear.
I wonder if anyone uses solid axles? Heavier, sure, but would it hold up. O

Ken,
I have no machining skills, or tools, either. Attached is a picture of
how I
made it happen: Just figured out a way to chuck the axle to one of my
=BD=94
drills and used wet-or-dry paper to remove the steel; took about 45
minutes
' 1 hour per axle.
A solid axle is being used by many, but you did not say how big of an
axle
your bearings might take.

Mike,
That sketch does help. The bottom writing is cut off, but it looks you also used
1" stringers there. I like Jack's description of the tapering for and aft, and
with this, I think I have a pretty good idea how to proceed.
Thanks again,
Steve

Right Steve-- I used 1" stringers on the belly and tapered them at the fire
wall and tail.
I did not (as you can see by this photo) taper the front of the fuselage si
de stringers--these
fit flush up against my 1/8" birch plywood firewall.
This photo shows a bit more.
Remember those landing gear fittings need to be made LONGER to penetrate th
at standoff of fabric
as the original Piets had no fabric stand off or in some cases no fabric on
the bottom--just plywood.

They look like the Chineese made wheels I'am using, I knocked out the
bearings and installed bronze bushes with a 1" bore as that was the
largest size I could fit through the hub. Not flight proven at this
stage.

Guys, we were planing to use wheels like the ones yall
are discussing. One thing I noticed during researching
them is that the Chinese tires had a very low weight
rating. There are tires out there that have adequate
weight ratings that will fit those wheels. Just be
sure to figure that cost into your decision. We only
went away from them because I decided to down size m
y racing efforts and donated two CR500 18 inch wheels
with 5 inch wide hubs to the cause. I had the e
xtra master cylinders and the only thing we need to buy
are tires and one rotor.

Hi, the tyres I,m using are good ones and the tubes are heavy duty, its
only the wheels that may not handle much abuse.

They look like the Chineese made wheels = I'am using, I knocked
out the bearings and installed bronze bushes with a 1" bore as =
that was the largest size I could fit through the hub. Not flight
proven at = this stage.

Thats a sweet setup Gary. Never thought of that. I = might be
able to make something like that work.
For tyhe dirt bike = wheels I'm looking at, I've emailed the
seller to ask the axle diameter but I = haven't heard back. Also
trying to figure out how wide the spoke is, hub to = hub.
Speaking of brakes, there is a flange with four holes on one = side.
You can see it in the attached photo

Thanks Gary. That's a beautiful setup = you have. I have no
machining skills or tools so I'm trying to figure out a = way to
do it as simply as possible with the split axle gear.
I wonder = if anyone uses solid axles? Heavier, sure, but
would it hold up. On a motorcycle it's supported on both ends by
the fork.

You will = likely get the usual discussion on the pros & cons

Navatril=92s idea of an 1 =BC=94 axle (tube) with step-down =
tubes installed. My step-down tubes run in about 18=94 on each

mil this one as it was .004=94 over 1=94!
=93Wheels = 1=94 shows that the Harley hub has 5

The = wheels you are showing have a very interesting spoke

I am = certainly no expert, and mine is not flight-proven.
Good luck!!

Anyone with motorcycle = wheel experience care to offer an
opinion on these dirt bike wheels?
Think they'd be strong enough to handle the side loads? Any
thoughts on = attaching brakes? Machining them for a bigger axle?
Or could keep the existing = bearings with a solid axle?
I've emailed to ask hub width = and axle diameter but haven't
heard back yet. Looks like the hub width is = maybe 3 inches?
