I have the exact same Perkins and Sun rim setup. With the Perkin hubs, do the two
welded flanges with the spoke holes run true when spun? My wheels run true
but the flanges were not welded straight and wobble when spun. I bought Kens spacers
and brake discs too so the discs wobble as well. Do yours do this?

I was just in Kansas City a couple if days ago and I dropped by Ken Perkins machine
shop (his basement is a fully equipped machine shop). I picked up a pair
of hubs from him and got a tour. He showed me how he made the hubs. I inspected
mine and they appear to run true.
I would give Ken a call and see if he could help you out.

Chris---what a gorgeous looking airplane you have there! You're the first one
with the olive drab US Army Air Corps
paint scheme that I've seen and it looks great. Your workmanship looks to be
first class. Thank you for sharing some photos.
Will your radiator for your Mitsubishi engine be in the traditional Ford A location?
Looks like you've adopted or fabricated a gear reduction drive up front. Are
they using these engine in other homebuilts that
you know of?
Great to see your progress!

Thanks! I have to say this site has been a huge inspiration to keep pushing forward,
i look forward to seeing what everybody is up to and how everyone else solves
the issues that come up.
Nobody has used this engine to my knowledge, it my modern version of a model "A"......well
see, remember its "Experimental Aviation"
The unit up front is a external bearing hub with isolator bushings between the
crank and prop, hopefully removing all of the torsional vibration as well as thrust
loads. This unit also houses the starter ring..Im using a harley davidson
starter and ring gear, spinns it over like butter.
I know Jack is painting his a similar green, so i cant wait to see them both together.

Paul:
A lot depends on your line of work. I'm a project manager/halfass engineer at
a fabrication and machine shop and its handy to be able to test your own welders
and develop new welding procedures as projects come along. Right now I'm gearing
up to do some armor plate work. In a month we might be working with thin
titanium...

Well the adventure has begun. Sitting in the B Concourse at IAD waiting for my
flight to SRQ. Chuck Tippet is already down there and we will look at the airplane
tomorrow morning. Andrew King called Chuck and told him all about Mr.
Sam. Andrew has over 80 hours in this Piet. He flew it when it had the Ford
engine and after the conversion to a Cont O-200. He has high praise for the airplane.
Makes feel so much better about the buy.
If you would like to follow the adventure as it unfolds this weekend, Click on
this link, scroll down to Florida and you see the pin drops. I will turn on the
Spot Connect as soon as I land tonight in SRQ.
