So, anyway, I couldn't find wire wheels around here for love or money. Then I realized that since I plan on covering the things what's inside don't matter! All I can say is thank God I actually bought that combo lathe/mill on sale for $1000 even though it cut seriously into the ole budget. It somehow magicaly made a pair of hub extensions and two sets of flanged bronze bushings. Many other things too! Clif None yet, will let u know when I impregnate them...

I started thinking about building a Piet in July 2010. I also always wanted to stop in Sparta, Wisconsin to see the Deke Slayton museum on my way back from Oshkosh, so I did. Hanging from the ceiling was that pretty plane. I told my wife it was fate. Now, a little over a year later I've got thirty two ribs made, a fuselage framed, and the tail feathers done and hinged. It's been a good year. I'll try to post my own pics of the plane from the museum when I get back from Ontario later this week.
