Hi all, on my newly installed 1/16 ply on one bay of my leading edge I noticed
a
dimple about the size of a coffee can. Is there a way to get that out? I wonder
if wetting it down and putting an iron to it will work. Gardiner

We took 12 planes from our EAA Chapter to Triple Tree last year and camped
out. I think the count was around 450 planes in attendance, but don't quote
me on that. We had so much fun that we plan to take our EAA Trailer with all
the gear and make a 4 day trip this year. Should have 50 chapter members or
so attend. See you there. Ps: we take the wives on this one.

Hi Ben,
Two of the "whoever else shows up" Dick mentioned are Jerry and Nancy who work
at Homebuilt Parking check-in. They can give you directions to the Cow Pasture

Jack, my dimples are concave and the water treatment did not work. So I scruffed
the area up and smothed it out with liteweight body filler. It will be covered
with fabric so I hope this works. Gardiner

Kevin and Shelley built SIXTEEN work benches for the Corvair College. Wo
w, that's some effort. The pictures
posted on Facebook were outstanding. Looks like some nice work was accom
plished and some gorgeous looking
engines. What a great setup too.
Kevin-is that the hangar where Devil Dog is hangared with Beth and group?
Nice bunch. Bummed with them at OSH a few
years back.

We asked and Beth offered, but Shelley used her charms and Georgetown Jet Center
came up with an empty hangar for us. Beth runs a very busy flight school and
we would have absolutely been in the way. Also, the B-25 takes up a little
space in their hangar :) .
17 work benches, to be exact...

The long and the short...I started a business 8 years ago and when I did, it pretty
much stopped the Piet project. The business has finally setteled down
a little and I'm now able to get back to building. I've owned and flown a Cessna
170 for years and now I think it's time to move up, so it's back to work on
the Pietenpol
I'm getting ready to build the straight axle gear and I'm looking for a good option
for 21" wire wheels. I've spent a lot of time looking through the posts and
I'm not crazy about making my own wheels. The 21" Harley spoke wheels sound
like something I'd be interested in and if anyone who has them would be willing
to share some information, it would really be appreciated. (Or if anyone could
offer a better option, I'm all ears).
Information such as:
Where you got them
What kind of cost am I looking at
What did you do for breaks
What size axle did you use
Are you glad you used them
What tires did you use

Where you got them - Paughco, Inc.; www.paughco.com; 21" Harley Sportster.
Ask for "Troy" and tell him you want the same wheels that he supplied to
Gary Boothe for his airplane.
What kind of cost am I looking at - I got a special price...so not
sure...you can call.
What did you do for breaks - go cart
What size axle did you use - 1 1/2" stepped down to 1". Paughco puts 1"
bearings in all their wheels.
Are you glad you used them - OH YEAH!!! I am told that I need to pack stick
to beat the ladies back...
What tires did you use - Whatever Paughco installed.
Dave - you can see most of what I have done on www.westcoastpiet.com. Let me
know if you want any answers...

Here's a different option.
http://www.airdromeaeroplanes.com/heavydutywheels.html
However, I think they're only 19" rims, not 21".
The hubs come fully fabricated, and I think you need to assemble the wheels, but
the price seems pretty reasonable. I believe a few builders have used these
wheels. If any of those guys are reading this thread they might be able to shine
a little light on the product and the service.

Corvallis, Oregon. I would appreciate any advise some of you might have
regarding flights, car rental etc. I would like to camp while there and was
thinking it would be handy if I could UPS a small box of camping gear to someone
at Brodhead. Thanks in advance and I look forward to meeting some of you there.

Got mine from "Airdromes & Airplanes " in Missouri.
He does wheels and WW1 replicas.
I had left over Grove brakes from a unfinished float project.
The drums bolt on to the hubs, not the spokes.
He took pity on me and threaded the spokes for me.
I understand that is a chore.
I took them to a local motorcycle shop for the tires.
Not cheep ... 8 bills- plus.

The long and the short...I started a business 8 years ago and when I did, i
t pretty much stopped the Piet project. The business has finally setteled d
own
a little and I'm now able to get back to building.- I've owned and flown
a Cessna 170 for years and now I think it's time to move up, so it's back t
o work on the Pietenpol
I'm getting ready to build the straight axle gear and I'm looking for a goo
d option for 21" wire wheels. I've spent a lot of time looking through the
posts and I'm not crazy about making my own wheels. The 21" Harley spoke wh
eels sound like something I'd be interested in and if anyone who has them w
ould be willing to share some information, it would really be appreciated.
- (Or if anyone could offer a better option, I'm all ears).
Information such as:
Where you got them
What kind of cost am I looking at
What did you do for breaks
What size axle did you use
Are you glad you used them
What tires did you use

Hey all,
Due to overwhelming demand...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlQXwjuoVKA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
If that link doesn't get you there, just search for "Douwe's C-90 first
run-up in airframe", and that outta do it.
Working away now on lots of persnickety stuff.

This is a copy of a message that I posted in a related thread last
year on Feb. 2:
"One word of warning about Robert Baslee and Airdrome Aeroplanes. I
bought my wheels from him, but he never delivered on the tubes and
tires. I emailed, called, emailed, called. At first, he told me they
would be coming in a separate shipment, then after repeated efforts to
get him to send them, he quit responding all together.I'll say this,
the hubs and wheels look beautiful. But the hubs are not straight
enough to just bolt brakes to, even though he indicated they would be.
The cost of coming up with an option to fix that isn't trivial. Worse,
I'm not sure, and won't be until the aircraft is moving, whether my
solution solves that problem. And I ended up buying tubes and tires
from a motorcycle website and having a local motorcycle shop mount
them for me.That added to the cost even more. If I had the option to
replay history, I wouldn't have dealt with Baslee. Your mileage might
differ and I'm sure others have had good experiences with him, but
that was my experience."
Hopefully, Baslee has improved on his customer service by now.
Cheers, Ken

but the price seems pretty reasonable. I believe a few builders have used these
wheels. If any of those guys are reading this thread they might be able to shine
a little light on the product and the service.
